separation yes i know about the feel thing (we're ganja smokers down here) I was more refering to separating the kick/stick stroke from the bass frequency. i recorded a bass track (i'm a drummer) with all treble and mids cut off (true to reggae settings. the feel was okay, i just couldn't get...

Ok since your drummer does not believe in symetry, try a room mic at various distances and at a good height (say 7-9'), pointed at your drummers head (the one on his sholders). as for your toms, since you're dealing with even size drums I wouldn't really tune to a musical note but tune the drum...

does anybody have any tips on getting a tight reggae drum and bass mix? aside from getting the Barret Brothers themselves. my bass tracks come out sounding to ROCK for a reggae track. please keep in mind i want to record the bass tight so i don't have to futz with the mix too much after the...

OOps I Forgot Something. Hi R.E. actually like i said at the top of the thread, these mics are good live. They just Sound Harsh on the vs1880. I could patch them into the Mackie And bus them but then i would have two useless tracks because they're balanced, and the mackie has unbalanced busses...

its your tuning. ffmada, first make sure the drums are tuned...evenly. May I recomend Bob Gatzen's "DRUM TUNING" video. Also check your mic placement. I'm a fan of sm57's for snare and toms (clip-on's don't cut it), try to place the mic so the windscreen can "see" the point of the drumhead...

hey R.C. it seems only one of them is cutting out. Are you serious about the guitar centre (shitty mic scandal)? I'm down in the caribbean so i can't really test listen the stuff before purchase(maybe because i didn't buy the stuff...my keyboardist didn't either...they were sold to him,if you...

hey spider...try a REMO CS 0114. That's the coated 1 ply skin but with the dot underneath. make sure all your lugs are even when you seat the drum. that skin controls ring (CS stands for control sound). it doesn't eliminate it, but in reality you don't want to eliminate the ring. I personally...

I'm using a pair of Dynamike cables (about 20') and plugging straight into the back of the 1880. the 1880 has two balanced xlr inputs (channel one and two). I don't know if the 1680's have the same feature. I also experiment with the -10dB pads included with the mics, but that really chops my...

these mics sound good on stage. but plugged into the vs 1880 they have no body. i tried using the mic simulators in the vs but that sounded like shit. worse than digital distortion. any advice on these mics as overheads? i've been spoiled by my buddy's nt1's and his pro tools set up...

I have been working on a vs 1880. i did not purchase it (my bass player did), and with it he was sold on a pair of octava mc 012's. I have accepted the fact that the sales person(who shall remain nameless...and is no "ANGEL") just wanted to sell the "schlock" he had in stock. now i have to deal...

My band has a pair of oktava mc 012's which i use as overheads. however they came with no literature (actually our keyboardist forgot them in Miami) can anyone tell me what the -10db capsules are for? i know they are pads but what are the (dis)advantages of using them? or when should i use them...

yes yes, i know what you're talking about. I actually have been using that selfsame technique on only my second tom (i have 4) it never occurred to me to try it with the others (du-duh?!). thanks I'll try it and reply it! get it? hit.

can anyone help me with my ears? i have a yamaha kit (like Carter...you know who), and i've just entered the digital experience (vs 1880) but my toms go "poooonnngg" in the playback. i want them to go "doooom" like my ears hear them aurally. is it a mid-sweep technique, or a compression thing...
