    Kick drum seems to be lagging on final mix

    I have this problem with the sound of the kick drum sounding like it is slow while mixing a song. I am playing right on the click track as I record and it sounds ok in the headphones. I know low frequencys supposedly have different characteristics as far as speed of travel and so on.....is it...

    Gating the kick drum

    Great ideas I am going to do some more drum recording this weekend and will have to try out a few ideas. I still have the front head on the kick drum, so I guess I will pull it off and place a mic in side. How does this sound? Use the shure beta 52 for miking inside the kick drum and either...

    Gating the kick drum

    I ran a shure beta 52 that was mic'd up close at the beater and then ran into an alesis 3630 gate and then in to the mixer- recorder. Without gating the kick, I was getting a sloppy muddy sound. I like the quick sharp defined sound of the gating, but I think some of the low end was lost...

    Took the plunge and bought a HD24....problems already!

    Hd24 and drums Hey, ya know I recorded two long drum sessions with the HD24 right beside me by the floor tom tom and it didn't skip a beat. I guess the 100 watt mesa boogie amps are the only thing it doesn't like. Its a keeper!

    Took the plunge and bought a HD24....problems already!

    Computer vs HD24 Portability as mentioned before is the big thing, plus the fact that you can record 24 channels at one time if you want to. Kind of hard to take your computer to your friends house, or to a live setting and record it. I think the problem that I was having with the HD24 is...

    Took the plunge and bought a HD24....problems already!

    Heres what I found out on the HD24 If anyone out there has a HD24, you may want the same thing out and see if this is a univesal problem... Lots of time spent tonight trashing one of my songs. It now sounds like a badly skipping CD after getting this Alesis HD24 to repeat its failures. I...

    Took the plunge and bought a HD24....problems already!

    It was nicely packed, I can say that much. I put some recording time in on it and after I layed down some tracks I was in the middle of punching in to fix a part....after about the third punch in the recorder begins recording and then stops a few seconds later and gave me a "underwrite error...

    Alesis quadraverb...still useful in a home studio??

    Cool, thanx for the ideas I think I may upgrade to the Lexicon -500, I have heard a lot of good things about it.

    Alesis quadraverb...still useful in a home studio??

    I agree with the line noise thing,... but there are a few patches that seem pretty cool. I have played around with the balance of input to output and found a good level where the hiss is minimized. I would like to try out a Lexicon MX500 to compare, but will have to wait and find a clean used...

    Alesis quadraverb...still useful in a home studio??

    Money is tight so I am considering using my original 1990 Q-verb on some songs? Am I crazy? Is it still useful, or should I take the plunge and buy another multi effects set up?...and if I do...what?

    Quadraverb ...is it still useful for recording?

    I have a 1990 (original) Quadraverb and I am deciding whether or not to pitch it in favor of a newer multi-effects such as the Lexicon MX500 or something like that. Has anyone here had the opportunity to compare a Quadraverb with any newer processors? Is the Q-verb so out dated that it is not...
