Hi to everyone.My english are not to good,so im trying to focus at the point.i have a room,and step by step i fix it to a musical corner for friends.. we have drums,guitar amplifiers,bass amplifiers,and keys.We dont have mics.. is there any best sounding solution for mic amplifiers.8 channell is ok for occupy all the instruments and vocals?<if it cost low..better> here is the room on paint,, ssofita.webp .where is the best spot for guitar amplifier? or bass? if the drums are there...thnxs
 
First of all, welcome to the forums.

Secondly...umm, I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Are you asking whether you need more equipment or where to place things in the room? Or both? Lol. I think it will be easier to answer your questions if you tell us what kind of equipment you have and then we can go from there!

:cool:
 
itaughttremonti you have right.i need both. The equipment that i have now is a custom full drum set,a peavey 50watt bass amplifier,and a spider valvemk1 212.also sometimes a friend brings his vox vt30.. The room also has in the other side of the room,not the drums side, a bed,a table..I have fill some spots on the wall,with handmade defusers,and objects,but nothing sofisticated..
 
Ok, you've started to do room treatment, I know that is what most people suggest is one of the best things to do at the top of the list. Also, I'm still confused as to whether you have an interface or not. If so then you need to invest in a couple of SM57 mics to get you going, and when you have a little more cash, grab a couple more (or other brand mics if you prefer) to mic your drums. If you don't have an interface, and are wanting to record drums, any 8 channel and up interface will do you good. My suggestion would be the Presonus Firepod. Has the pre-amps built into the interface and has plenty of channels for what you are wanting to do. Hope this helps.
 
thnx itaughttremonti.The presonus looks fine.The positioning off all the staff stress me.I m not sure where i should put bass and guitar amps in the room..
 
Now we're getting into territory that I'm unfamiliar with haha, but a few things that I (think) I know about amp placement. You generally want the amp to face the larger part of the room and have the back away from the wall. Example...


I I
I < I
I _________ < I
I I AMP I < (microphone) I
I I________I < I
I < I
I I

I hope my crude drawing helps explain what I was going for. But as I said, I am not an expert on this type of stuff. Hopefully someone else can answer, but if not, I'll read up some more on it myself (I need a reason to) and can come back and give you more of a solid answer.

Edit: my drawing came out nothing like I wanted haha. When I get home from work, I'll draw something in gimp and show what I meant.
 
This is a wonderful indication of how difficult it must be to try to have a vaguely technical conversation in a language other than your own! Keep plugging away pankos, we'll get you there...

I'm guessing HR guru "moresound" will have some valuable input here... he normally rocks up at some stage from now.

I'd say that in an untreated room if you're trying to all play at the same time, the amps where you can all interact with each other is a good thing... and very close miking the amps with dynamic mics to minimise bleed.

It depends upon whether if that's what you're trying to do or not. Outright position doesn't matter so much if you're doing track at a time...

:cool:
 
It might help to know where you're at. Availability of things may vary with location. GLS mics are well liked for their quality and very low price, but they aint available everywhere. I sent my bro in Canada a pair, not seen a source in Canada for those things.

I definitely second the "if you're jamming, get the mics as close as possible" theory.
