Most of the time the snare is a little more to the left side of the kit (from drummer's perspective), so unless you want the OhLeft to be farther away from the kit horizontally, the only way to get the distance the same from the snare as the OhRight is to raise it up a bit. I find that it...

Do you ever run into phase problems when combining the kit samples with the overheads? I use kit samples to replace bad or weird hits, but never considered completely replacing the close mics with samples of the same drum. Seems like it could phase weird with the OHs.

It sounds like the track could be playing out of 2 outputs? Maybe the main o/p and an internal bus at the same time, causing latency in one of the signals and giving you that doubling effect?

Not to hijack the thread, but is anyone else doing drum edits in PT by hand, similar to the Cubase Slip editing method? What I do is group the drums, and in slip mode, slice at the transient and slide it to where I want on the grid, slice at the next transient, slide, drag/reveal waveform to...

Played a show once with this band where the lead guitar player had a huge spiked gauntlet band on his right arm. Halfway through a song his long hair became tangled in the spikes. Dude finished the song like that then ripped his hair out because it was so tangled.:rock:

BOUGHT! Starting a production next week and these samples will definitely get used.

PSN here. Gamertag: MickMauer Lets play some missions

You could try holding "N" when you start Pro Tools and choose your interface

I get the best results by dampening the resonant head with a small pillow, rather than the beater head.

That's a tough one. Recording in small sections can help. More editing, but its worth it if it keeps him from burning out. Also, is there a chance he is trying to play above his ability? There's nothing wrong with writing super technical parts and everything if it fits the song, but if he...

Too easy to fake the poor man's copyright. Just mail yourself an empty, unsealed envelope to get the postmark. Keep it for a rainy day. You could put anything in it at any time and seal it, claiming that you had possession at the time of postmark.

This for sure. Powerstroke, finger tight then 1/4-1/2 a turn to smooth out the wrinkles. Also try wooden or hard plastic beaters if you want more attack. A small pillow inside the drum, leaning on the resonant head will help kill some of the "gong" without deadening the whole drum. The...

When you guys are programming clicks for stuff in odd time signatures, do you bother with accents? I've always found it easier on everyone if the click has no accent.

Make sure the snare sounds great in the OHs. IME a 57 does not really do justice to brushed snare playing. Definitely use a bottom snare mic if you can, and/or try and borrow a small diaphragm condenser to use for snare top instead of the 57. 57's are totally decent for stick hits, but they...

Ahhh opening the fader "window" from the edit screen. That makes sense. I have tried it with the mini fader thats always in view in the edit window and I don't think it works there. Im so used to apple+= to switch screens or having the mix window on a separate screen I rarely ever open the...
