recording

Recently, we decided to try something a little different and wanted to focus on celebrating certain iconic drum sounds. This is not a scientific one to one recreation type video rather celebrating what makes them so iconic. If you haven’t watched it yet check it out! There’s also a deep dive...

Hey all! I have a metal band and we just bought some drum mics to get started with recording. We're very new to this process so we're trying to get all the information we can. We bought the Shure PGADRUMKIT7 7-piece Drum Microphone Kit and are running into an old Zoom R16 Interface that our...

Hey everyone, so I’m finally gonna get into some of the recording and mixing techniques that I use for the Drum Center of Portsmouth videos and maybe some of the stuff I do for music projects as well. Anyways, this is the first video on a room mic trick that I use check it out. I’m open to...

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I have a bit of a catastrophe here. My band are coming round tommorow to record and I'm having huge issues with getting a decent recording from my drums. I'm running a Beringher UMC1820 with a ADAT8200 running as master at 44.1khz. I have them...

I've got a small drum/rehearsal studio (16'x7'). I've got a single JBL EON710 (10" PA/monitor speaker), and a Zoom Livetrak L-12 mixer. For drums, I've got a kick mic and two overheads (3 channels). Guitar amp mic'd with a SM57, bass amp XLR direct to the mixer, keyboard amp 1/4" direct to the...

In this video we explore the world of recording the Batter Head of the bass drum. Here I compare two different microphone setups. The first being an externally mounted microphone on a clamp which is placed on the bass drum hoop. Here we have the mic pointing to the impact zone of my bass drum...

Hello, all...and thanks for your time and consideration. In the process of attempting a first-time, at-home recording. My understanding is that once 8 pieces of the kit were mic'd up, the 8 XLR cables would go to the audio interface, which would then connect to the laptop/DAW. I had...

here is a video about how I setup to record my drums. It's a longer video because I wanted to show anyone who's starting out more or less a step by step of how I prepare a drum cover / drum recording. In this video I go through bringing in my inputs, labeling channels, recording, phase...

Digital Reference vs Audix snare mic... is it worth it? I finally upgraded my snare mic but what do you think?! Let me know!

Hi This is partly a drum tuning question and partly a miking recording one too so I wondered if you had any advice to help me with the following please. I have a 6 piece kit in a finished basement of say 20 x13Ft. Try as I might I cannot stop the snare drum rattling in sympathy when I hit the...

Hi Drummer World!. I'm interested to get peoples input on a lil' debate between myself and a colleague the other day. What's the standard 'go to' drum kit nowadays when setting up a new studio? Obviously this can usually be tied into budget/availability etc but still, 'in an ideal world'...

Someone asked about when I swap kits for recording what's involved... so I just did a simple fast forward / time lapse style video to show how I got from one kit to another in my basement for recording drum videos. Any questions just ask! Thanks for watching!

For anyone who is recording drums this thing is great! It's a huge space saver and great for tight space conditions. Want to save on stands this is definitely a great option! I now have two of them, one for my hihat and one for my ride. They work great for what I need them to do. I put a small...

Hi, I got an e-kit. I want to record my own practice playing along with some drum-less tracks on mp3's or audio CDs. Could someone recommend a PC software which doesn't cost me an arm and a leg? (Windows' "Sound Recorder" is pathetic. It can't record more than that 1 min and the quality is...

I have a plethora of question for you kind scholars. My parents bought me some drum mics for my birthday but they weren't exactly sure which brand to get. The guy working there recommended the Samson 7 piece over a similarly priced Shure set. Have you guys heard anything good about Samson? As...

Hi all. I don't know too much about recording, so please bear with me... Up until now, I've been recording with V-Drums primarily due to their ease of use. I can record a track as MIDI, and then mute individual drums to get a full multi-track file with each drum on a separate channel...
