what does that even mean?

overheads are there to record DRUMS!
That's just what they want you to think. These are the same people who keep saying "No, don't put a ceiling fan in the drum booth".

I just use tape or a mic cable and make sure the OHs are both the exact same distance from the snare. This often means that they don't look symmetrical.

I also always have a big problem with drums bleeding into the OHs. Never been able to figure it out...

Replies: 34

The biggest culprit is when multiple engineers are involved. The first one may not know that something is going to be redone, and the 2nd has no idea what the first guy used. And what makes it even harder is when the 2nd engineer hears that the 1st one did a terrible job and has to choose between tr...

I run every mix I ever do through both the hardware L2 and the plugin L3. The hardware version only for the converters, no limiting, and the plugin one without any limiting either. Contrary to people claiming it makes the mix sound worse, this is 100% completely untrue. Definitely one of the few de...

Headphones to me are just like speakers. You're going to have to learn them in order to get the best mix out of them. I don't think there is any one magic brand that requires no learning. There just might be some that work better for you than others.

Just a heads up, I now have a PCM60 recall sheet on the web site. 1 outa 3 is better than 0. :-)

I'll see if I can make that picture work, thanks! I thought I responded last night, but I don't see my response. now I am paranoid I somehow responded in a completely wrong thread.

One thing I look for is the pattern made by the unit depths on the back of the rack so that no one unit's I/O is hard to get to with a shorty between two deep ones. I get used to anything else. I don't know if you ever deal with MIDI, but this is always a big PITA when it comes to MIDI racks. The M...

Each gear has some factors that must be weighed: The importance of the gear (use wise) How often the gear gets changed (some gear always keeps the same settings, some don't) Does the gear need a ventilation spacer? Depth of the ...
