Yes I agree. I am now interested in this binaural recording technique.. obviously I cant drop 8000$ on a newman model head, BUT i do happen to have a clay head model in my garage, maybe I can rig something up with two cheap condensors... it might not work well but it would be something right...

if you recorded binauraly you would probably be forced to introduce a lot more room noise..

indeed it is... how else would you mic them? technically, in this frame of thought, you would want to mic everything from an audience point of view.... so everything should be miked from a signal focal point.

veteran mixers, we need your input!

im a data sponge :) thansk for the responses, they will definately be helpful.. now I just need to get over to the practice space and work on mic placement.

yes, a cubical shape could be employed to show the volume, but it would get confusing looking, so if it is important, you could just make a note that volume is at 40% or whatever. now, if we could have a veteran mixer give us all a general idea of what Cells to put what instruments in? I think...

Ok, I have heard about this mixing grid several times, but I think maybe we can make an accurate example that is applicable for everyone. here is my layout.. https://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k266/darkecho_/mixgrid.jpg Now, I will be dividing up the 100% of the stereo field (horizontally) by...

well the ohs will be in stereo... the snare will be put slightly off center, but for simplicity's sake, (and because I am doing this particular recording as a favor to a friends band) so I sort of want to just produce something useable (myspace and handout CD demos). I dont want to go nuts on...

ok. so now my question is, where do the toms need to be in the mix? up front and loud with the snare? or back with the cymbals? the answer to this will finish my decision, if the toms need to be up front and loud, then I will have the toms and snare go to the BG and into the Delta44 as...

so you are saying that I shoul put both of the OH into the behringer and then into two seperate tracks, then put the snare through the BG? then i am wasting a BG input!!! why not have the two OHs into the BG and the snare through the mixer?

well, i have the option of recording into an actual STEREO channel, where the program combines the two into a single stereo track. or i can record to two seperate tracks and adjust volume and pan of each of the two signals independantly...

and if you wanted to get that placement ability for the toms, you'd need to mic each one seperately so you could pan them around to make it sound like they go across the board right? so I think maybe I will just leave the toms in the OH recording... should the OHs be recorded in stereo? or as...

also, i have a mixer available... but i would have to combine signals... what would be best to combine the toms with? snare? or bassdrum? cause i am using my 2 channel BG for the condensors (i figure that they can take more advantage of the $$$ preamp) the sm57 will go through a behringer...

well, since you ask... there is LOTS of time to lose, some electricity... maybe some fingers... friends... if you are in the building, which is the target of an asteroid, you may lose your life, and all of your equiptment.. so i guess there is lots to lose, but probably nothing but time...

will the OHs pickup the toms good enough? and a 57 on the highhat?? I have a delta 44, so I will have the two OHs going into my preamp and then into the delta taking up 2 of the 4 spots, then a snare track would get third and then the triggered bassdrum would get 1.. so i would have to sum...

I was reading the old thread on using two overheads to get a "phat sound" but In my particular situation, my drummer has triggers and he does the best he can to mute the bass drum.. This effectively takes the bass drum out of the equation, as far as phase cancellation and miking that is... so...

Have you figured out how to do this Travis?

Because sometimes I just want to listen to music at night quietly while other times i want to mix loudly... it would be nice to just turn the knob all the way down (cause my desk is slick wood and i have to use two hands to push in the monitor mute button, one to hold, one to push) I heard that...

I am running the monitors through a headphone amp because I was told that using software volume control has a negative effect on the sound quality... Is this not true??? I was told to use an analog volume control.

does it affect the quality of the sound by changing from +4 to -10? cause I have messed with that a little but it didnt really help, just got me a little more movement.. I think I will do the fine tune volume adjustment on the back of the speakers, I think one is louder than the other anyways...
