Dood,
I am planning on checking these guys out myself. I am recording a metalish Pantera-type project later this month and might send DRT the best-mixed cuts to see what they do. Seriously, post your intro experience here and I promise to do the same when I am done, and then if it's good...
Dood,
I know it sounds improbable, but Audio Technica has a Kitpack that is two high tom/snare mics, and two low tom/kick mics that sound pretty darned good. List price is almost $300, but music stores will probably sell them for Xmas at under 2 bills. I was very skeptical, but these mics...
Look dudes and dudesses...mastering counts for a lot. I've had the opportunity to hear a lot of stuff in an unmastered form (I know someone who knows someone...etc). Most of it are these guys from the Magna Carta label, and also a couple of tracks from Van Halen's Balance. You want to know...
Ummmm...thanks for the advice, guys, but what have you heard about the POD from Line 6? Is it any good?
(Geesh, I know what I'm asking Santa for this year!).
When I get my own place, I'm going to have to start micing the cab. But I'll still mix in a POD for more options. But answer me...
Those are all good choices for people already with a lot of nice mics...but has anybody heard anything on this set of drum mics Audio-Technica has come up with. At a local music store, one can get 4 mics for $180, two that are "ideal" for snare and hi toms, and two that are "ideal" for kicks...

Thanks for the help so far...I've also heard a Sonic Maximizer or a tube pre-amp may help fatten up the sound a little. I'm even doing the stereo guitar trick...whereby I record one guitar through a stereo processor, one side with delay and the other side detuned slightly. Then in mixdown I...
Please bear with this long post...and I look for answers from all, beginners and experts, philisophical or not...
I used to be a musician that worried only about the music I was creating. And then I checked out a couple of studios and got bitten by that damned recording bug. Now I always check...
Here's something else to consider...it might be a little off topic, though. It applies mainly to percussive instruments. I noticed if I recorded a dry drum track or drum machine and added 'verb to it and made it's own track out of this, unless the mix on the 'verb track is nearly or at 100%...
I would definitely agree that the Beringher pres are better than the "old school" Mackie's. I don't think they can even touch the new Mackie's with the XDR pres in them. To my ears they sound three times better then the standalone ART pres and almost as good if not as good as the JoeMEEK...
Fishmed- It's ironic that I read your post RIGHT AFTER I heard Dream Theater's new single "Home" on a Bay Area station here. But I hear you, man.
As far as production I hate...I don't like any of Pink Floyd's production after Watters left, although I still liked the tunes. Mid-80s Rush was...
I'll help you out Dragon:
Luxury! Why I had to wake up at 5:00 in the morning half hour before I went to bed, go down to studio, work 30 hours a day mixing on a pair of folders coffee cans tied together with fishing line, chew the tape for splicing, lick off the oxide layers, use my body for...
I have an AKAI DPS12 with internal 1 GB Jaz. To get the audio files into a PC, is it as simple as using a SCSI external Jaz to the PC? In essence, is the digital audio from the AKAI the same as what the PC can handle for conversion to .wav, CD audio, and mp3 (minus the software conversions, of...
