I have a home studio, but it's confined to one room in my basement. It's about 40ft by 20ft, the floor is cement, the walls are blocks/bricks/paneling at different spots. I'm stuck right in a corner, in about an 8'x10' space for me, my PC, and all my equipment. The ceiling is maybe 6 or 7 feet up, with huge metal resonant furnace vents running right above the corner I'm confined in. The particular corner I'm in happens to be one wall of blocks, and one wall split with bricks on the top and cement on the bottom. Very reflective...
I've got 4 inputs, so I pretty much settled on a 2-overhead/kick/snare setup. Maybe I should get better overhead mics before I worry about the room though. I have:
- an Audio-Technica ATM25 on kick
- a an SM57 on snare
- and don't laugh, two Nady SP5's for overheads
Any way to improve my situation? Will the SP-5's kill me before the room does?
Note: My drums are angled 45 degrees to the wall, but I don't know what else I can do...
