    double bass pedal spacing problem

    hey! I've recently bought my first set of double bass pedals- yamaha DFP9310. I love the feel of the pedals but I don't like what it's done to my kit set-up. I've been told my normal kit is set up very tightly and when I inserted the pedals I found that I had to "push out" my snare and...

    just got drums . . .

    hey lysis, those things that you "move up against the head to lesson the echo" serve the same purpose as moon gel. Any dampening device seeks ultimately to lessen overtones, or "echoes" as you put it. Unfortunately though, the best way to figure out how to record your drums is to just record...

    thinking about taking the instruction plunge again....

    i've been burned on this road once before. It cost a ton for me to take lessons and last time the guy just wanted me to play with songs for him for 3 months. I didn't learn much. I'm thinking about this new guy who is big into rudiments and reading music. His background is drum corps/jazz...

    mixer for live recording w/4-track

    thanks lysis, you're pretty much spot on-we just want it for the oh shit factor. we've tried the "mics pointed a few directions" thing and gotten mixed results (just passable to terrible). we've got 2 guitars, bass, drums, and ideally would like 2 or 3 vocal mics. We have a reaaally crappy old...

    mixer for live recording w/4-track

    hey, my buds and I are trying to put together reasonable recordings of our practice sessions. These will only be used by us to keep record of what we're doing (we improv alot). We have a fourtrack (cassette) and would like to couple that to a mixer (8 channel?). what I imagine doing is a...

    double bass pedal and hi-hat technique

    thanks Rod. i've seen clutches before I guess I just didn't really think about it. Can you get heavier clutches for a more closed sound? a second hi-hat seems one step beyond me at this point........i'm not sure if my legs rotate or not???? i'll have to mess around with them.... as a...

    double bass pedal and hi-hat technique

    i know this is all stupid but how do you manage to double bass while playing on a closed hat? is there a way to set it closed and pedal to open? set me straight on double pass pedal + hi-hat technique. and do i need to buy a new hi-hat stand if i go to double bass? i currently have older dw...

    how do I monitor myself?

    are there tricks to monitor myself if I'm playing and recording drums? I'll have 4-5 mics to deal with through separate channels and I'm pretty much on my own. should I mostly just rely on mixdown/eq?

    yamaha yess/pre-yess question

    hey! i have a pre-yess recording custom kit. A new yess tom wouldn't work with my hardware, right? are there reasons not to mix? ......and only somewhat unrelated- do the yess toms sound 'better'?

    well tuned drums = great recording session

    i'm realizing more and more that well tuned drums just sound better under any circumstance....

    aardvark q10

    thanks Herwig on the heads up on the dsp3000- I was not aware of this unit and I'm interested. Can't find much review info on it, however. hey 69shades your comments confirm that the converters/word clock on the q10 are up to snuff. My question now is about the quality of the preamps. I've...

    st audio dsp3000

    hey! I've searched the forum for info on this unit and there's not much there! This sort of all-in-one fits my needs well and is comparable to the aardvark q10 and motu 896 (firewire). I run xp. Any feedback on the dsp3000? How are the converters/pre-amps? I can't even find any reviews on...

    aardvark q10

    I can't believe it but it's the only thing I can find on the market that offers the flexibility I need at that budget. 8 preamps, MIDI capable, monitor/headphones, phantom power, analog outs. I need that many ins and I'll be mixing in the box....fits my needs perfectly and has gotten good...

    stupid and simple question but whatever...

    I now have 2 hard drives for separating my audio files. Question is- should the recording software (sonar 2.1) be on the OS drive or audio file drive? does it matter?

    hardware vs software mixing?

    hey SA you lost me. The unit looks great by review, what card could I use? I'm not very familiar with lightpipe- how do I mix i.e. what are the disadvantage of not having 8 separate outs?
