    8 lugs vs 10 lugs

    can anyone tell the difference between a drum (any drum) with only 8 lugs as opposed to 10 lugs on pro level kits? Normally pro snares and kik drums have 10 lugs. But my starclassics only have 8. Does anyone (with the super accurate hearing) know of a difference in sound under the mics? just...

    porta studio!

    Are you're talking about a box unit like a vs1880? I prefer to have upgradable stuff. I don't like when box units break down.

    Do any of you fine folks have a portable studio......one that can travel to any room you find suitable to record in? In all my travels I've come across some fine living rooms with killer acoustics. I always say to myself, "this room would sound great to track drums or vocals in!" I have this...

    3 mics, where to place

    Never mind those upper crusters and their jokes bro.....Shove the dynamic up close the the kik batter head, and use the omni's as overheads. You may have to move the drums around the room to find where they sound best, but just remember the tone of the drumset comes from the player.....not so...

    Mic In Snare's Way / Mic Bleeding

    Have you tried a turnique to stop the bleeding? HOw about some gauze? HA HA HA!!! Just kidding. Actually I agree with bruce for the most part. But I would gate the drums going to tape rather than during mixing. But that's just me, not the law. Markd also made a very valid point. The kit is one...

    snare rattle

    I just recorded drum tracks for my bands 3rd cd in Toronto's Metalworks. We do a cover of Bob Marley's Concrete Jungle, but we changed up the rhythm to a shuffley/ska beat. In the Choruses I play this 6/8 African rhythm on the toms while keeping a backbeat on the snare. The Producer was bothered...

    rad idea I've got a set of starclassics, some akg c418's, a d112, one sm57, and two octava condensers. They're being monitored with a mackie 1604vlz pro. I'm looking to plug into a Titanium laptop, and keep all my necessary out board gear in one LIGHT rack. i.e. quad comp, mic pre's, I/O, the...

    micin cymbals

    has anyone ever seen and engineer mic each and every cymbal? I just did. There must have been four re-20's up there plus two pzm's on a big ass boom stand. Is this a common technique?

    hard-disk computer

    Its all about the bits! If I may Dr. Colossus? Ahthhhaaanque! Yes it has to do with your sound card, but, and there's always a but, it's what you're giving the sound card. Most pc's use a 16 bit sound card. Which is the resolution of all cd players including the one in your pc. So you need to...

    Software Based Drum Machine?

    You could invent one... you might be better off utilizing midi ware and/or samples. It may take time but you'll eventually have a bitchin' library of sounds. hitman.;)

    motu time piece
