I'm doing a little test of various mics on a tom (including a radioshack 33-3032) and I threw my pro25 up and all of the sudden it's distorting. I haven't dropped it or anything. I'm also not clipping the signal, so I'm assumming it's the mic. What's up?

My suggestion would be to download Pro Tools Free, the reference manual, and check out " A Musician's Guide to Pro Tools." If you have a little bit of cash go ahead and buy the Digi 001 (it's a great system.) BTW, "A Musician's Guide to Pro Tools" can be found at -...

You don't have to YELL!!!! This has been covered before, use the search function.

:D

BTW, Synchronize can be found here... www.qdea.com

Your best option would probably be to buy a firewire hard drive and a program called Synchronize.

A little more info would help. What kind of bass, amp, and mic? Do you have a direct box?

This should keep you busy. http://www.studiocovers.com/articles3.htm

The SR-16 is a very good........METRONOME!!! :)

wow, you gave everybody a whole hour to answer!!! :) I think they just changed the color, nothing else.

I don't think anyone has mentioned delay yet. Instead of using tons of different reverbs, stick with 2 or 3 and utilize your delay.

chessrock, Unplugging mics while phantom power is on will not hurt them. It's always safer to if you can remember, but It won't hurt them if you don't.

1. Two ECM8000's will definitely be better than two 58's. 2. Kinda depends on the voice. 3. Phantom power will go to all of these mics but won't hurt them.

The folks here don't really have a holier than thou attitude (well...I take that back, some of them do...but not these guys.) They're really only trying to help you. You have to realize that more than a few people here have semi-pro to "pro" home studios, and lots of experience to go with them...

umm...just a bit pitch corrected....:rolleyes:

It IS possible but probably won't yeild the best results. If you had a wonderful sounding room you could get away with one mic and have it sound great...but you (like the rest of us) more than likely don't. Tell us a little more about your situation. What kind of mics do you have? Micing...

The mic over the ride/floor tom will be lower than the mic over the snare. Heylow, the last time I checked 32 inches was 32 inches! :)

Thanks again!!!

If your overheads are equidistant from the center of the snare you should not have phase problems. You DO have to check your other mics though! You'll just have to experiment with how high you place them. Get a guitar/mic cable and use that as your "ruler."

I'm not really a fan of the XY position so I usually separate them and point them straight down. Lately I've been putting the one above the snare at about two drumstick lengths (from the center of the snare) and the one above the ride at about the same distance. If you can't get the mic in front...
