I posted this last night but this morning the thread was gone. So let's try it again... Here's what I did: -built 15 skinny broadband absorber panels and 4 2'x2' cloud panels -replaced fluorescent tube lights with recessed halogen units -relocated HVAC vent -stuffed area between drop ceiling...

I've got a drop ceiling in my practice space. It hides 14" joists and hangs about 6" below them. I just replaced four 2'x2' ceiling tiles with DIY 1" thick 703 absorption panels for use as a cloud, and was planning on backing it up with some extra R13 (faced) I found in my basement. Turns out...

I cut the 703 into thirds: backed with 1x2 framing: and have 11 of 15 completed: I'll build a cloud and post more pics when everything's installed. Enjoy! Josh

I ordered a case of 2'x4'x2" 703 and am considering cutting each board into two 1'x3' and one 1'x2' panels. This way I can distribute the absorbers better and arrange them more aesthetically in my small recording room (7.5'h x 8'w x 13'l). By cutting the boards up this way I get 17% more...

Is bass trapping as important in small recording rooms as it is in small mixing rooms? Or is treating first reflections more important?

I'm using an AT3035 as a drum OH, running it into my Audiobox, and getting clipping even with the 10dB pad on and the gain turned all the way down. I'm guessing I need to inline pad this mic...how do I know how much attenuation I'll need? M-Audio makes an inline pad for $25, works out to 16dB...

Does Reaper have provisions to record from a USB interface and the computer's mic in jack simultaneously?

This is a question just out of general interest. I have read that diaphragm size doesn't strongly affect low frequency response. Why then are SDCs almost never used in front of the kick?

Here are my specifics: Room - 7.5'x8'x13', untreated Drums - 10", 13" toms, 16" kick Cymbals - mellow Ks Interface - Presonus Audiobox (2 channels!) Music - rock, jazz I'm a newb and want to experiment with different mic setups - recorderman, mono OH & FOK, etc. Bearing in mind the...

Hello. Just getting started with recording drums. I have two channels available which I'll use for overheads. I'd like to use a replacement plugin and mix my kick samples in. It seems pretty clear that one mic should go in front of the kick. But can I use the other at the batter (outside...

I'm just starting out recording and am considering tracking drums with minimal gear. The goals are to monitor my playing, to learn how to play so that the tracks come out well (becoming a 'good' drummer in the engineer's view), and to learn more about recording than I can by just reading this...

Hello! I'm planning to improve the TL of my basement jam room but I have a few questions. I gather that some information must be supplied in order to get answers, so crack open a(nother) beer and let me get started. =) Or, just skip to the questions at the end of this post. Here's a somewhat...

I'm thinking of getting a minimalist setup for tracking drums: 2 OH condensers, a dynamic kick mic, and that little vlz3 mixer with two mic pres. What are the pros and cons of using an XLR to TRS cable for the dynamic mic and running it into a balanced/unbalanced line in jack on the mixer?

Hello! First post here, thinking about a simple setup for beginning recording, specifically tracking drums. Seems that you can do just fine with 4 mics (2 OH, kick, snare), but what do I need to get those four tracks into my laptop so I can apply effects individually and to the whole group...
