:) HEy! I'm looking to buy some drum mics but I dont know what kind of amps, cords, or anything else to get. Got any Ideas??????? :)
 
I think we need a little more info here

By amp's do you me Mic Pre's?

What kinnd of style / drum sound are you going for?

How do you plan on recording it?

What kind of budget?
 
Ok a little more info...

I don't really know much about drum mics, but I wanna start recording some stuff. Do you plug it into an amp?? Do you plug it all into the same input?? I've got lots of questions. Does anyone know??? :confused:
 
ok u get ur mics.....

now to get u started
u can get a mixer

and a TRS cable (1/4 connectors)
but ud have to get a 1/4 connector to a 1/8 (big to small)

so u can plug that in ur soundcard..

but if u want to record all ur stuff and be able to edit each one of them on the computer...then u need a better soundcard like
the delta 1010
with that, you need a mic preamp. You plug your mics in the preamp. then the preamp to ur soundcard.

any more questions?

this might help you out a-lot

www.presonus.com/images/firepoddiagram-big.jpg

there are others out there, some with more or less i/o. This unit comes with cubase recording software, and can be picked up for about 550 - 600 bucks. like i said there are others out there, less expensive and most of these have pre amps in them.
This is all you need to get started. (mixers come with the recording software)
All the other stuff like eq's and signal processors can be sold as software. They sound the same if not better than hardware and are a lot cheaper and less expensive to ship, manage, and care for.
welcome to the world of digital recording
