He did indeed haha! I hope that comment didn't come across as ungrateful, because I'm anything but... Any help people can give me can only be a good thing, even if it's telling me to buy more shit so my recordings don't suck ;-) We'll see how it comes out on the day. The kit sounds pretty damn...

In the interests of learning as much as possible, why is that misinformation? And in dintymoore's defence, he was one of the few people who didn't just tell me to "buy more mics" - which doesn't help me at all.

Thanks everybody. At the moment using more than two mics just isn't an option. As cheap as some mics are, they're still more than I can afford. Combine that with the fact that my interface only accepts two inputs and you'll see my problem. I will upgrade, but it won't be any time soon. Thanks...

I would've thought the tuning went without saying :-) It's punk/hardcore,so I'm definitely going to want the kick and snare to be pretty prominent. I guess my best bet is to just experiment as much as possible!

Oh I intend to :D

I'm going to be putting some drums down on Sunday with very limited resources and wondered if you could give me a little advice. The only equipment available to me is an SM57 and an Octava MK-219, both going into a Line 6 Toneport UX2 and then Reaper. I've been thinking,and the best setup in my...

Thanks. I figured it out now, anyway - all I had to do was fiddle with the soundcard settings and suddenly I could do it.

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted on here but I have a question and I remembered how helpful people here have been in the past, so I thought I'd ask :) I've just bought a Line6 TonePort UX2 and have been merrily playing with it and the Lite version of Ableton Live that comes with it. The...

Ok, got there in the end :) I really like that first song, it's a great opener, and the transition into the second song works really well. I like the bassline in that second song as well, it's really simple but it works really well, the guitars and drums just seem to drift around it. Really...

Only just started listening, I agree with the comments about the vocals seeing buried. I like this first song so far - I'll let you know more when I'm done.

Second mix sounds miles better through my headphones, although they're pretty bass heavy so it's sometimes hard to tell. The instruments sound like they're not fighting for space as much as in the first mix. And the hiss seems to have mostly vanished, which is good. Not a bad drum sound at all...

Having just listened to it for the first time in years, I'm going to add Dire Straits - Making Movies. Again, for me it's the drums. They're big and loud in all the right places, without overpowering the rest of the instrumentation. Awesome.

Good god man, that is awesome. I reckon I refer this to the version on Guitar Hero 2 :D Two thumbs way, way up.

I'm lucky if my singer will pick up a stick that manages to escape over the toms...

Cheers man :) I can't listen to it now but I'll definitely check that out in the morning. Don't suppose you've ever used the Studio Projects C4 as overheads? I'm looking at either them or the Rodes. jaybriggs84, sorry to derail your thread. You can have it back now.

As an addition to that, I've done some more reading and am hearing a lot about the ATM450. I can pick up a couple for around the same price as the NT5 and the C4, although it wouldn't be a matched pair. Would they be worth looking into? Any input would be great:)

You got a clip of them in action by any chance? I'm considering getting a pair, but I want to hear them first.

I'm currently in the market for a budget pair of drum overheads, and I've got it narrowed down to either the NT5 or the C4. I can get both for roughly the same price - £208 for the Rodes vs. £190 for the Studio Projects, so I'm just looking for people's opinions here. I've heard good things...

As far a software, I might as well be the first to suggest Reaper. It's free, and damn good. Google is your friend as far as finding it goes.

Have you tried the recorderman method, or are you just assuming it won't work? I see no reason why it wouldn't work with a bigger kit - you could always try it by lengthening the measurement used while still using the basic principle.
