Home Drum Studio

Postby V4Vinnie » Wed Jan 02, 2013 10:34 am

Hi. I have at home a decent empty room. Dimensions are 12'W x 22'Lx 9' 6"H. Is in concrete and it completly empty. I was in the thought if converting it into a recording studio for convinience purposes, but, I'm a rockie in terms of what equipment I should choose. For starters I would use my laptop that it will be enough according to the configurations. At the moment I think I will use Logic for tracking. In terms of mics I hear that a good Shure SM-58 should be ok, according to Jr. Robinson in an interview. But what else? Can I use the preamps, EQ's, effects from logic? My intentions are not to do at first somenthing pro but make something low budget but deccent so that could be a good start. Pleaee any advice that could point me in the wright direcction? Thanks gang.

^^ Yeah I went through the same thing this time last year and that topic pretty much covers what I ended up with.

Thanks...Yup, I recorded and mixed that. Stripped down, just overheads and kick for each kit..
Cymbals were a bit hot but overall not bad..

On the Zebra wood Kit. Neuman 2 km 184's and an Audix d6
On the Copper wrap kit 2 Tlm 49's and a Akg D112 on the kick
Both using Recorderman technique

Through an M Audio profire 26/26 ... It has 8 channels of pres plus lightpipe
Recorded into Cubase 5 I think.

Mixed in Cubase 6 with Universal audio plug ins..
