So here I am, wanting to take the big step of recording drums in my home studio. (yeah a spare bedroom like most other folks) . I've got a presonus inspire 1394 (only two mics XLR out), an sm57, and two behringers for overhead. (think they were c-1 not sure it has been long since i busted them out) In any event, i am thinking of trying those gls sm57 "clones" to round out the toms and then look for a good kick mic', but I am then still stuck with trying to figure out how to get it into cubase. I thought maybe mixing it down on an external mixer might work, but then you can't really effectively filter anything afterwards to compress or give it more punch. Can you guys offer up some suggestions on how to do this or how many tracks you would mix each drum part to before sending it into a comp for mastering? I thought maybe hooking up an analog mixer to my presonus but i am not sure how flexible this will be..
Thanks!
Also- I am tryign to avoid paying 500$ + on something like a firepod and then 2000$ on microphones. I figure i can color the sound using programs like drumagog that are free.
