I record drums in a 20’ enclosed trailer turned studio called the Band Wagon. Fat and tight is the only option but still working on getting it just right. Just did some acoustics Reno’s so 🤞

Hi. Love the panels. I know this video is 3 years old now, but I thought I'd comment any way. I once had the very unique opportunity to acoustically treat multiple Dolby Atmos QC theaters side by side. I could walk out one theater door and in the other in a matter of steps which gave me yet another very unique opportunity. That was, as I was installing the acoustic treatments I was able to AB a treated room vs. an untreated room. I could also AB different treatment placements. This allowed me to determine the effectiveness of the placement of acoustic treatments. By far the single most noticeable difference in reducing flutter was to place treatments in the corners of the room. Anywhere that 3 planes converged, wall-wall-ceiling, was the most effective placement. In order from MOST to LEAST effective was, 1) wall-wall-ceiling, 2) Wall-Ceiling, 3) Wall. Certainly, treating the walls is important, effective and NOT a waste but I couldn't help notice those corners in your studio were left untreated. Just trying to help a brother out! And hopefully anybody else reading this picks up a trick or two as well. Especially since we are probably all on a budget, the tri-corners should be the FIRST thing you put money into. Rant complete!

@@AndrewMasters I'm thinking of buying the Mackie Big Knob Passive Monitor Controller. What's your take on it? Also with Presonus Eris 3.5" Speakers. I previously had the Focusrite 18i20 and Saffire Pro 40 connected via ADAT. I also have the Audient EVO 4. Will the Big Knob be capable of routing two different interfaces in the inputs and 2 pairs of speakers. Each pair connected to each input on the Big Knob. So I have interface one (source A), interface two (source B), then route them to the outputs of the different speakers (output A and output B) respectively. Can the big knob switch source A to output B and also source B to output A? Such that one interface is playing back on speakers not connected to the input source on the big knob. I hope you get my question. Please reply. Cheers! Manuel. :)

@AndrewMasters 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Manuel, The Big Knob has worked okay for me. It has some cool features including a built in talkback which is cool. Downside is it has way too much color it adds to what you’re hearing. There are too many ways to adjust the input levels, which would be confusing if you don’t know how things should be set up. It is much more of a mixer than anything else. Yes the big knob can do that, but so can any other monitor controller. This is what I would recommend: amzn.to/3bsdE8t It’s the same price point, has all of the same features but does not color the audio like the big knob does. It’s also much simpler to set up and operate, while still giving you the same flexibility. Cheers!

I am actually shocked at how live your room still is in the one shot when you were standing far back in that early shot. That’s so nice that you have the option to be fairy live, then throw up some gobos and super dead! The blanket trick is sooooo good! I super agree on overheads too. I’ve always tried to get the best picture of the kit with the overheads and then just bring in the close mics as needed!

... Drum sound totally depends on the "gig"... The Tight Phat sound is awesome for "studio produced" stuff - Funk, Rock, Pop, Drum overs, etc... The open live sound is great for jazz, big band, some Fusion (Love that Bill Bruford tight open ringy SD sound too), and a live band in the studio sometimes... Your sound here is very nice though... Gonna definitely try a few of your suggestions... Dead Ringers on the SD - and Toms - are great for this sound... softens up the attack and gives that low, "Thunky" sound (my word for Thick and Funky!)...

The drums sound great if you are looking for that late 70's/80's sound but when I listen all I can think of is they would be so much better with a little air around them and a bit of snare ring. I kind of feel claustrophobic listening to them. To each his own. I have a tiny room and what works best in there seems to be 2 mics pointed at the cement floor just a penny's thickness away from it. An old technique for small rooms but it works.
@AndrewMasters

Oh man. Snare ring is for sure the thing. Was going for sort of a "dreams" kind of snare sound on this session. I think my snare probably was more dead than necessary but a drummer is always going to want it to be a little better haha.

Hey Andrew. Great stuff as always. Smells Like Teen Spirit, Back In Black, Dragon Attack... Drums that put the listener in the room with the band always resonate the most with me. I dig that live performance vibe with natural ambience. It's a hard thing to do now since for the most part records aren't made this way due to budget limitations. I suppose my least favorite context for drums is canned ambience. It never seems to work for me. I can appreciate the close dead thing if that ethos carries through to the end result. In the end it's the drummer (creative), the drums (tone) and the performance (energy) that rule over all else. That's my quarantine two cents anyway :) Cheers!

This has a really nice Vulfpeck-esque quality. Love the drums this way. I mean as you said, it does depend extremely on what the rest of the track is going for. But reverb and delay plugins today are so good, if I actually miss a little room on nice and tight drums I can still mix some in. If I overdid the reverb, on the other hand... Tough to get rid off that without it sounding unnatural.

Id keep on keeping those extra panels if I was you! Thanks for all the studio tour videos, I've learned a ton and have been building my own studio for 9 months now. I fear I will never be done building it if you keep posting videos!

And wich one of these microphones sets have better qualities for drums recording : Audix Fp7 or Akg session 1 or audio-technica Dk7 ? Tanks 🙏🏼

I think the zoom recorder would probably be good enough, it depends on what exactly you're using it on, the mic, position, environment etc. 8 pre interface would definitely be ideal to start with for drum recording. You know, I've never used any of those mics, all great brands though! Check out the youtube reviews etc.

I thought it sounded terrible.. like a flat pop. I much prefer some ring. Powerstroke 3 on snare is great for the control or a good ol fashioned ambassador with a bit of hockey tape (I'm canadian, it is my go to and is easy to pull on and off with no marks)

I like a mixture of both, Having a SUPER wide open sound kind of defeats the purpose of having mics in the first place because in my opinion it makes the drums sound more like an iPhone mic. But when people have the sound where its just like there are no overhead or room mics I absolutely hate it because it makes it sound like a drum sample and that defeats the purpose of even playing drums. Having a mixture is the perfect sound for me, you still that that "close up-ness" (Is that even a word 😂 ) of the drums but you still get the open feel from the overheads and room mic (if you use a room mic, I personally do not)

As far as mic placement, I've been placing mics on my drum kits for like 14 years so you start to kind of figure out how you like them. I'll place mics, adjust levels from the kit using the wireless mouse and keyboard, dial in a headphone mix. Usually do some warm up takes, jump over to the desk and double check phase/levels etc. before I grab the final takes.

Love it. Super helpful video. I don't have anything approaching the R88 in my mic locker, and I only have a 4-channel interface and a super small room, but you've provided a lot of great tips here that I can apply to see if I can get my drums to sound better. And I am definitely ordering the "Big Fat Snare Drum". Thanks again!

I definitely like tight sounding drums! A lot of 70s recordings sounded that way(Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Eagles,etc.). Bob Clearmountain did a great job on The group CHIC recordings( Le Freak, Good Times)! James Brown recordings are awesome too! Especially the Snare drums they are sooo tight! Thanks for sharing your video! 😁

Great sound!! I usually go for an open, big drum sound. As of late, I have really been into the tight sounds. Excellent job!

What a great video! I do like both kind of sounds: Wide open & reverby also as very dry! For me it depends totally on the context. Thank you for the inspiration! Especially the ribbon overhead mic sounds like I have to try that as well.

The two above the drums I just used 4 corner braces. The cloud that's above my head I used wire to hang it from anchors.

I agree on almost anything except no spatial for the snare. You want a big snare sound. Maybe make or buy a diffuser around that spectrum? Like I would forfeit all the deadness if I could just get the snare to sound big.

@@AndrewMasters It's fine when I'm playing it, it's during playback. I think my problem is I spend too much time playing with eq when I should leave it alone. The word I like to use to describe the sound I'm going for is "lush".

Put cotton balls in the floor! Not much just 2 or 3 and open them up so they take more surface! That's the greb floor tom sound!
