Re: Home recording

Extra mics will help give to control to focus individual drums.. but you will still have a washed out set of overheads.. better to clean up the room then add other mics and extras..

Re: Home recording

It's not ideal in a kitchen but try and get some absorbtive stuff on the walls. 2 blankets hanging from 2 coat racks.. or whatever you can do.

Ts is a mono signal.. Trs is a stereo signal or mono signal at twice the db. The compression is mic gain input rel...

Re: Strokes that are late

I play to a click live for all my gigs... It's really evened things out for me.. I use a shaker and cowbell. Suited for the tempo and groove of the song. Once and awhile I'll be in a situation that I don't use a click.. Muscle memory wise I'm still in the zone form playing with a click. Be carefull ...

Re: Playing Covers: How Picky is Too Picky???

It depends on the venue and the type of band.. If it's a bar gig, your job is to sell beer and get people mingling and having fun. If you're doing a tribute band then have it together.
