Been a while trying the on-site upload....stand by
OK...it works.
So I have a real Ludwig drum kit set up. Four mic's: overhead KSM27's; 58 snare; 57 bass.
Tuned them up yesterday; set up the mics I had following a few tutorials; sub-mixer into the board. No firewire of some such...so what goes in is tweakable only at the boards. PS..I'm not a drummer. Haven't sat behind a set for 31 years. Still trying to figure out how to hit the snare...
I'm sending this first test...recorded all dry, then mastered to get some available nicetyude...if any.
To add context, I tried a few of my new instruments. I'm not a mando, fiddle, banjo, or flute player either. Still waiting on the upright bass, dobro, chromatic harmonica, congas, bongos, COWBELL, and a decent crash. And some better drum mic's.
Yes..instead of going the super-computer, software libraries and midi hassle, I just decided to instrument-up...get some chops...and record real stuff into mics.
Just wondering if y'all...m' buds...will give me an assessment of the drums and label the few worst things to fix...and send me in the right directions. I can hear no snare snap; boxy as anything. Do I have to cut the hole in the front bass drum head? Pillow? Got a couple washrags taped on. How's the tuning? Room sound awful as I think?
Love yoos,
Jeff
ps...been working 60-80 hours a week for several months. Saved some money, and decided whether to invest in fake or real recording. Real won. No more quantizing. Grit, scratch, wobbly time...and some new skills to develop...that can make me dough playing live, eventually. Really looking forward to playing upright again. Got a real spruce n' maple coming!!
Sorry to have been out of the loop for so long.
