...too big?
I know it depends on the type of music, but I've just found a parish church hall that looks pretty cool.
Unfortunately I don't have a room big enough to record drums in at the moment so I usually move my studio to a decent sounding room for the drum tracking (massive pain in the ass, but the only option currently). I've been doing it around friends houses livingrooms - they've got old vicotrian houses, high ceilings, wooden floors, sound great...
so yeah, this church hall is in a modern building, sort of a very large bungalow with a room for hire - looks to be 30ft length by 30ft wide, 12 maybe 13ft high. Wooden floors, hard walls and big heavy curtains that can be pulled around half of the room's walls.
The band I'm thinking of recording the drums there with are a black/death metal band - but they want good production so can't be that cult... I'm just worried that the overheads will pick up too much room as it's fairly large (well... for me...). I don't really want the drums to end up sounding like "In the nightside eclipse" by Emperor!
Thoughts/advice?
Cheers
