This is my first experience recording my own drum kit, also my first time learning to play drums. I produce music and will have professional drummers come in for sessions but I wanted to get a good idea of what I’m doing, before wasting anyone’s time. Overheads - 2x Royer R10. ~ 4 feet apart...

I am making samples from my acoustic drum kit. For the kick I’m using two mics. A WA-47 and a Beta52a. I am using Presonus Studio One. When I create a mixdown of the two tracks into a single file, it renders onto a stereo track. Furthermore if I use a bus for compression this will also produce...

Hello, I'll be moving into a new house with my first recording/studio space. I've already got a Dayton reference mic and true RTA software. I've seen in some books RTAs which show waterfall plots for freq. over time over level. I do not believe trueRTA has this feature but I'd like to measure...

Hello, I am reading a book now which describes a M/S mic technique which uses a cardiod dynamic mic (on-axis) and a figure 8 mic (sideways 90°/270°). I am also familiar with plugins which have M/S processing. Therefore I am slightly confused. 1) does a M/S mic setup require additional M/S...

Hello, I was reading that re-amping using a standard DI box (in reverse) is not a good idea because the signal level coming from the audio interface output would be too hot (level too high) for the DI box. I have a Warm Audio active DI which has a -30dB PAD. Would this device work for...

Hello, I believe I am fighting some latency issues while recording on top of my midi drums. For example, I arm my guitar track to record and I am playing along to the already recorded midi track (not bounced to audio). When I am done recording and listening back my guitar track is no longer...

**Assuming quantization is turned off This will seem like a bizarre question and I'm not sure I know how to really describe what I've got in my head. When I am recording MIDI I have to use the "processed" sounds for monitoring as there is no real input to monitor with 0 latency. If I am...

I am working on a project with a drummer and we are recording drums + guitar "in the room". The drum kit is mic'ed with 3 mics (Glyn John method.) We used an SM57 on top. PGA56 for the side. And a beta 52A for the kick. My issue is the transient on the top/side mic. When I set the input gain so...

I just swapped over from the latest version of ProTools to Studio One 5 and I am starting to think I made a huge mistake. My reason for swapping was to ditch the ilok and monthly license fee. My biggest gripe is that Studio One 5 has more bugs than I have ever seen in a DAW. And second is the...

Hello all, I'm going to be recording some rough mixes next week for band rehearsal. Just wondering if anyone has advice for a 3 mic setup on the drums. I'm thinking 1 kick and 2 overhead. The kit is standard size, nothing fancy going on.

I'm very new to this whole thing. Any advice is welcomed. I really struggle to get a powerful low end, probably due to the VI's I'm using for bass and drums. Most of my mixes end up nasally and congested sounding. New Session Mix 2 by Trey Young | Free Listening on SoundCloud

I am relatively new to this site and a beginner when it comes to mixing. I am using pro tools as DAW. Please let me know your feedback on this mix (not mastered). Here is some background info to help. 1. No stereo panning applied (thinking of panning rhythm guitar and bass guitar away from...

I tracked some drums this weekend and the kick was not as tight as I would like it to be. It has a loose feel/sound to it. I could re-track with a different instrument however I thought this would be a good time to learn some mixing techniques to tighten the kick drum. Any and all...
