    who's using elastic audio/equivalent on drums?

    It's been years since I've used beat detective. I'm on PTHD, without a single phase issue. Sounds pretty good to me and it's super quick to edit. I use it for guitars as well. Sometime vocals, but that gets sketchy.

    Dealing with Bleed on Vocal Recordings, Headphone suggestion?

    Another vote for Extreme Isolations... They don't sound that bad... At least not Vic Firth bad.

    Betraying The Martyrs - New Album - Studio report ep.1

    I picked the new record up and must say, it rocks! Great job on the production. Any details on the guitars? Mostly ITB? How much of the console was used in the video?

    Kemper and 5150

    When you switch between reference and the "profile", it doesn't sound almost dead on? Keep refining, I'd say. My kemper profiles usually have a difference in the low end, whether it be less or more. Other than that, it's always at least 95%. I've gotten good results with my 5150 set up.

    To the guys with studio drumkits

    Tama Starclassic Maples here... They sound better than 90% of the bands that come in, to me at least. I figure the heads into the rates.

    Best cab to go for with an EVH 5150III 50w?

    I have an Orange 2x12 with V30s and a Mesa OS 4x12 with V30s. Totally different sounding cabs. Close miking one speaker, it's night and day. Always hands down, the Mesa sounds better. You can find them cheap if you look hard enough. Welcome to the forums.

    Mint condition ENGL Savage 120. Comes with the Z9 footswitch ($250). You guys know all about this amp. Just trying to thin the herd a little. I'm located in Southeast PA... $2000 picked up. Looking to trade for a Kemper.

    Heart of a Coward Snare sound

    Those Joey Jordison snares sound great, regardless.

    In Fear and Faith - Any information?

    I've loved this record since it has come out. I'm talking about the the self titled one from 2012. Does anyone have information or even better, some stems? I love the production... Whoever was responsible, great job!

    bass traps

    I'm sure there are insulation places in your area. Find them and order a few boxes of OC703. I built my traps from floor to ceiling and have a bunch hanging at reflection points. It will be the best money you've ever spent.

    How do you approach recording drums...?

    For sure. Many times you get to the 4th take and the snare is a step or two lower than what it was. Whoops.

    How do you approach recording drums...?

    Start from the top... Play 'til he screws up, punch. If they can't cut it... Then I pull, "Just get your ideas down, and I'll take care of it." No complaints so far. I've lost patience for these unprepared musicians.
