Hope someone can help me here. In my home studio I have the Tascam 2488 SIAB for a recorder. I do not have any outboard gear to use right now. I am using 6 mics on my drums right now
as follows. sm57 /snare, sm57 / rack toms, AKD D112 / kick,
sm 57 /floor tom, AKG 3000B right and left overheads.
Can someone suggest the proper [ or at least a good starting
point for compression / limiting settings for each of these mics
when tracking. The Tascam onboard compressors make you dial in the ratio from 1-100 instead of 2:1, 4:1 etc. I'm finding it a little confusing. Also the only way I can gate these things is to bounce them to a different track one track at a time. I would be open to
any suggested gate settings.
Lastly. I do have the option to reverse phase on mics if needed.
Is this standard procedure or only done if you're having a problem.
Oh and I know, I know , I should start with a great sounding kit.
I'm working on that now.
Responses will be greatly appreciated
