    Isolating Seperat Drums

    With a four track why bother to isolate? Just keep moving the mikes around until you get a good stereo balance. How many tracks were you intending to dedicate to drums anyway? What other instruments will you be adding? Dom:confused:

    High & Low EQ only! (What do I do ?)

    Just lower the high EQ a bit! Better yet, buy a mixer with more EQ, or a separate Graphic EQ that you can patch in where you need it. BTW it is usually better to cut EQ than boost, to reduce adding extra noise. Dom;)

    I need better tuners on my strat !

    You may have to do a little work.... 1. Tighten the springs on the tremelo unit (Inside the body of the guitar) You can also add springs (5 max) and the more springs the less the tremelo will move and stay in tune better. 2. Adjust the intonation (6 peice saddle bridge) you may be fighting to...

    Recording a drum kit through one channel? How?

    I usually sub-mix drums to Stereo (Two Tracks) But sometimes I'll mix drum tracks to one channel. If I do I mike the cymbals separately and cut all frequencies on those mikes but upper end, then mike the kick and boost bass freq's and cut highs. I mike snare and toms with boosted mids and cut...

    room sound is driving me nuts!!

    Buy some cheap second hand blankets Go to a Salvation Army Store or Goodwill, and get some old blankets. Hang them on the walls or better yet suspend them from the ceiling about 4 inches from the walls. (Clothes line will do!) You don't have to cover every wall completely, just experiment...

    12-string - Tuning?

    What brand of guitar is it? If it's a Gibson, Martin, Taylor or such I wouldn't hesitate to tune up to concert pitch. If the bridge starts lifiting on one of these well made guitars, then a visit to a luthier is called for. A good guitar repair guy can reglue the bracing and restore the action...
