Equipment Tracking
What kind of equipment do I need to record drums?
I wanna get recording equipment for X-mas but I don't know all of what I need to get recording.(By the way I am recording drums) I know you need:
-Recording Program [Already have (ACID 7.0)]
-Cables/Mics/Stands/Clamps
-A Larger size Mixer
-Multi-Track Recorder
Anything else.
If you could just give me a full list that would be nice!
Your question depends on how well you want to record drums!
For a budget solution:
3 Mics (one for kick, one near snare, one for overhead)
Mics go into a basic mixer - you'll need to experiment to get the right levels.
Mixer goes into your Audio Interface for your computer or input on your multi-track
After you record you'll want to apply reverb and compression. You can do this in acid or with plug ins. Some multi-tracks can do this. With this set-up you can get ok results with perserverence.
For pro-level results - you'll want at least 8 mics (designed for drums in particular), mic pre-amps and perhaps an external compression unit or limiter, an audio interface that accepts and records at least 8 tracks seperately, software that can handle 8 inputs, plug ins to apply reverb and compression to the recorded tracks.
Then balancing the levels and mixing them with other instruments in a song is an art in itself.
Let's not forget - one of the biggest factors for drum sound is the drums themselves, how they are tuned and played!
Acoustic drums are one of the hardest things to record well so do not beat yourself up if it takes, time patience and trial and error to get close to the sound you want.
I have been recording drums for 15 years and I'm still not happy!
