audio interface for recording drums

[pmack]

I still run specific preamps on specific mics, Especially on the snare top and bottom, hihat, kick and overheads. I have to run them to specialized hardware before feeding them to the line in of the adat unit.

Care to share some tips Sir Nolit?

okay ba ang lexicon omega at native instrument komplete audio 6? nakita ko na may 2 xlr inputs tapos 4 line inputs.. pwede ko kaya kabitan ng 4 mics (2 condenser mic at 2 dynamic mic) tapos ma-record ko sila as ng 4 tracks? o kaya naman maglagay ako ng dalawang condenser mic sa dalawang xlr input tapos magkabit ako ng 4 channel analog mixer sa sa line in.. okay kaya yun?

Puede.

sa mga user ng lexicon omega ano ba ang major issues na pwedeng ma-encounter? balak ko kasi bumili.. marerecommend nyo ba sa akin? gagamitin ko pangrecord ng drums, 4 mics ang gagamitin ko.. compatible ba to sa win7 64x, 2.6Ghz dual core processor, 3Gb ram, 512Mb 128bit video card? at kung icocompare sa native instrument komplete audio 6, ano ang mas pasok sa pangangailangan ko?
pasensya na madami tanong ayaw ko kase masayang ang pera ko pagbumili ako

Bro baka gusto mo mag 8channel na. Iniisip ko ibenta yung Motu 8pre ko eh. Ganda ng reviews nito!

tight budget kase e kaya hanggang 2-4 channels lang kaya, hindi ko din naman kaylangan ng super quality recording, basta durable lang talaga,madaling gamitin, compatible sa kahit anong DAW at pwede ko ma-expand pagtagal..

Tricky part here sa line inputs mo, kailangan 4 bus ang mixer mo if you want to maximize all the inputs of your interface. or you can get a mixer with direct out per channel (meaning, you will only use the mic preamp of each channel and feed them to your line input sa interface) or you can also tap on the inserts using the half plug technique. Small mixers dont have this. What you only get is a stereo output. Two channels lang un to play around. Technically its not a mixer that you need but mic preamp in order to feed the mics from your drums to your line inputs on your interface.

Your 4 tracks of drum recording will work. You can use the condensers as overheads or side and top mic, while the dynamics would be for the kick and the snare - since those will pass by your mixer, you will have the additional option to put outboard compressors or tweak with the EQ of the mixer.

Sometimes the best mix of the drums comes from minimal miking. It all boils down to a good tuned drums and a good tuned room. Remember "Garbage in Garbage out" even if you use a stainless garbage can .

tulong mga bossing! ngayong sunday bibili na ako ng audio interface/mic preamp at ang target ko fast track ultra sana... sa mga nakagamit nito, mairerecommend nyo ba sa akin to?

eto kaylangan ko para sa pagrerecord ng drums:
durable
magandang preamp
compatible sa kahit anong DAW especially sa FL8
4mic inputs para sa multi-tracking
may direct monitoring
at syempre mura (6k - 14k ang budget ko)

ang isa ko pa pinagpipilian ay Native Instrument komplete audio 6, kaso walang gain control yung trs input sa likod kaya lumalabas na 2mics lang ang pwede ko magamit at para magamit ko yung line in sa likod kaylangan pa ng preamp...
yung fast track ultra at native instrument ay halos magkapresyo sila SA NGAYON.. kaya tulong!
kung may mairerecommend pa kayo na iba na okay at pasok sa price range ko mas maganda

Magkano yung price ngayon ng JB sa Ultra bro? Go mo na yun kung need mo ng Mic pre-amps.

im using a tascam US-1800 got it on sale @ 16k bnew. shipping included thru Johnny Air to Davao.

This! Heto ang specs:

US-1800 SPECIFICATIONS
16 simultaneous inputs
4 simultaneous outputs
14 analog inputs
(8x) XLR Mic inputs with phantom power
(2x) 1/4" TRS LINE/GUITAR inputs on the front panel
(4x) 1/4" TRS LINE inputs on the rear panel
Stereo S/PDIF Digital Input/Output
Zero-latency Hardware Monitoring
Independent Monitor and Headphone Outputs
Stereo monitor output (DAW return (stereo) and input (mono))
16-channel MIDI Input and Output
USB 2.0 connection to Mac/Windows
Up to 96kHz/24-bit Audio Resolution
Cubase LE 5 48-track workstation software included
ASIO and Core Audio support
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X compatible

Should be less than 30k over there. Can't get anything better than this. Buy a PCI card with a USB port and connect the interface to it and you won't get any latency. I've been recording 10 tracks simultaneously all the time including 4 for the drums (2 OH, snare and kick).

Technically, if you are recording your band or someone else's band and that particular band alone, you wouldnt really need an interface with lots of inputs in recording drums.. You can do a 4 mic technique or you can pre mix the drums in a mixer and feed the drum tracks in stereo to your interface. This s because you have already defined how you want your drums to sound before before recording it. Here you can inject effects, treatment, etc before actually recording.

The reason why some studio has lots of inputs in their interface is because they dont really know what kind of band comes into the studio. To save time in signal routing and all those recording preparations, they simple mike each drum or at least reserve a line per instrument/piece of instrument plus additionals for whatever effect they want to achieve. And do all the mxing,  and treatment later on in the mix.

I hope you got what I mean here. Just my own opinion.

Zoom R16 bro ok din plus pwede pa sya stand-alone recorder. Then pwede rin syang controller interface sa DAW mo. May effects and preamps na din. Sulit yun promise.

Sobrang okay na po ba nitong R16 sir in recording drum tracks? Kailangan pa po bang bumili pa ng Reverb at Compressor? Tsaka noob question lang po, ano po ba pag sinabing Audio Interface?

Thanks mga sir

[KitC]

Best if you understand what the R16 is capable of first: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep09/articles/zoomr16.htm
