My band (it's my name too, clever, I know) is booking shows for the spring and looking for bands to play with. We're in the process of releasing our EP, so we don't have anything out at the moment, but we have plenty of practice recordings if you're interested. We're a mix of a lot of things...
I've been talking to Aaron at Blackwater about a build, and he said his wait was about 11-12 months, but honestly from what I've seen and from talking to him, I think it's gonna be worth the wait.
I have their Sparkledrive and love it for pretty much everything. I saw some videos for their Giggity pedal today and it looks pretty interesting, but I was wondering if anyone had played with it for something heavier?
Yeah agreed about the levels. You should probably see some peaks and valleys in the wave, it's a pretty fat bar. Also also of frequencies fighting for the same space. Try to carve something out for each piece.
Tom and Jerry taught me to laugh until I cried. Now they're tattooed on my right arm in a sleeve with all my favorite cartoons of all time. Tom & Jerry, Simpsons, Family Guy, Thundercats and more.
That part sucks, although it seems to suck less the more room you have. I think I ended up spending a few hundred on that, and I'm still not sure it helped that much. I think the best value I got sound wise was probably the bass traps and the treatment on the ceiling above the drums. With short...
Cool man, I hope it helps. We just started doing it in our room for the exact same reason. We run into an Ensemble with 8 ins and trying to get everything in at practice meant skimping too much on the drum sound. At best we had 1 over, 1 between two rack toms, floor tom, kick, 2 guitars and...
I don't know about you, but I prefer to trigger the toms as well. IMHO the toms are the hardest to get to sound right. Especially metal drummers, barely enough room for a 609, much less a 421.
Get something like this (Alesis Trigger iO Trigger/Midi at zZounds) and a midi interface to go along with your presonus. You plug your triggers into the IO, IO to midi and your shells are covered. Mic up to the Presonus and wreck shop. For the mics, we try to do 2 overs, hats, ride, and a...
If you have solid samples already you could look into triggers and a cheap brain. Use the triggers and midi for shell hits, and use mics for the ambients/ride/hats/etc. In that case 8 would be more than enough.
I have a DR and a Rockerverb 50 and the Orange owns the Mesa all day long. At least part of it, I think, is the tubes. I love the 6v6s. I've used the Orange power section to drive the DR's pre, and that was a lot of fun. You get that very distinctive Mesa rectifier sound, with a lot more life...
That could be really dope man. Post it up if you do. If you guys are down for a long distance thing, I could take a crack at it. I'm always down to give my mics a workout haha.
