I'm not sure what causes it, but I know how to remedy it.#1)Least intrusive to drummer. Put a pillow inside the drum. Definitely let it touch the beater head.#2)If you're going for a heavy metal kick sound, take the front head off, put a pillow inside the drum and a 10 pound weight on top of it to ...

I'll have to agree with the above quote. If you're looking to do a quality recording, and spend the least amount of money, you should go to a quality recording studio.

I started a studio from scratch several years ago. I would say that to do a quality recording, you'll need to spend a minimum of ...

I'd have to say I have that problem from time to time. I find that the more often I make adjustments with all the instrument up, and not making adjustments to each instrument solo, it comes a lot easier. Also mixing with the band present and paying for it, will also keep you from going overkill.

The only issue I have with hard drives, be it USB or whatever, is the fact that you can erase it with the click of a button, or screw it up unitentionally. You can't erase a DVD.

Don't eq too much top end on your snare top mic.

But keeping a ...

De-Esser.

De-esser is good for some cases. But I've ran into a couple bands that it's just not enough. The hi-hat bleed to pussy snare hit factor is entirely too high and is fucking up the whole recording. It's especially bad in these double-time hard-core bands that have a drummer that just ...
