My Home Studio (with audio sample of drum mics)

[OdaKa]

Hey, do you know what kind of wood that SCF04 acoustic guitar is made of?

[uberhippie666]

ahh been looking at getting one of the tascam's you have, im assuming from this video theres no problem running it on a pretty standard laptop, everyone ive seen using them have epic home computers and stuff. My laptop's not shit but its not particularly mindblowing ether, so if i bought one it would be fine running into ether cubase(obviously) or ableton suite 8 on my laptop, which i have no current recording issues with? cheers.

[forexbproof1]

I also have the M-Audio AV40. I love those speakers!

[kylethapk]

do u do acoustic treatments in ur room

[kylethapk]

epic fail at tha begining lol

[sartoriusrock]

if i were you i would go with logic as opposed to cubase; the user interface is much better.

[jdogg288]

sounds like camea audio still.

[MrMusic95]

you seem like a really nice guy :) keep it up, and i am looking forward to hear some more things from your studio!

[slammah2012]

It sucks that you have to use the Asio drivers.......this makes the tascam us 1641 a slave to the steinberg licence...

Unlike all my other interfaces (like the RME hammerfall and alesis Adat PCR) The Tascam drivers will not work as a multi in on Cool Edit and Audition because only the first 2 inputs and 2 outputs (headphone out) get recognised....

back to the store it goes

[saipanguitarman]

nice but you didnt panpot any mics to make a stereo image.. everything here is in mono not stereo.. but clear mmics!!!

[slythee1]

I'm thinking about getting a Tascam US-1641 to record my band. I noticed on your video you were using that to interface with Inspiron e-1405 PC. I was wondering if you have any latency issues recording to your PC and how well the Cubase LE4 interfaces with it?

[dmfitchett]

cool vid man

[mycomputer5]

hey i was going to upgrade from my analog mixer to a firewire or usb interface. Most likely a usb for price reasons. My main question would be - with the tascam 1641 when you record drums in cubase - does each drum (mic) come up as a separate track so you can eq all the drums separately?

[rayskipper]

@mycomputer5 yes they come up as separate tracks

[liamgauntlett]

the tazcam is amzin great audio luv it XD

[ke5eaj]

is cubase a good program? easy to use? is the tascam us-1641 easy to use, how do you like it?

[ch847]

Cubase is super complicated. It's a professional recording program. That shit is all complicated.

[Guitarmaster332]

thats rad ur bass sounds good for not being eq'd

[KedmenecMartin]

rubber soul!! one of my favorite albums

[Drummerkid74]

Does the SM57 work good as a kick mic? I'm planning on getting a few condensers, and since I have 3 dynamics, I was going to use one for my kick. Would it work okay if I get the EQ right?

[jonsie7]

it gets the job done.. but there not ideal... they dont have as good bass response as a designated bass mic but there a pretty close substitute

[deathleafmusic]

the drums u played..

r they coming through from the tascam or are they recorded with ur camera mic??

thanks..

[thepain258]

what is phantom power

[crapslap123]

20,666th viewer

[hegnirst]

the only real bother about ur drumming i would say is u need more rythm on your hi-hat

[wannabeKeithMoon]

i guess you have to be rich to buy all that stuff cause i shure cant

[drdollas]

no you dont have to be rich, you just have to be dedicated to what your doing. if your playing shows all the time and getting paid, then its not a problem buying more expensive things. and you always get what you pay for.

[0mnis14sh]

im looking to buy those speakers for using guitar rig (software based amp) on my pc (just for practicing in my bedroom) just wondering if they're a good pick for this..

[vanpowsand]

What kind of drumhead do you use for the snaredrum?

Thanks!!

[MaghoxFr]

hi mate (or anybody willing to help me out), i want to start recording and my budget can´t reall cover all the aspects of recording so i'm looking for the best, most versatile, but on budget stuff, so far what i'm considering seriously is:

line6: podstudio UX2

m-audio: Oxygen 49

shure: SM57

[stonewilliam]

u should try toontrack superior drummer :P

[nightfoxteam]

whats phantom power? :S i have no idea about how to mic or anything so im trying to learn

[DeadlyFilms]

Phantom power is power that is supplied to some mics (condenser mics) and also some other studio equipment such as DI boxes in order to get it to work. It can be supplied by either the mixer or an external phantom power source. It is usually +48v.

[HIFIveRecords]

Nice dude, but next time you should look into using stereo overheads and gateing your snare, itl take alot of the life out of it at first, but then put a little reverb in it, and you'll be good to go.

[Oriasis]

Wow, that bass drum sounds good!

In my opinion.

[fadingnations]

terrible quality and u look stoned or reallllly fucking drunk when u drum

[yohin2]

dude my video camera has better sound quality than that without mics.

[guitarist42495]

how many times do you fucking say um/uh

[needlearmor]

ah yeah the danny carey polyrythm. nicely done for a 'beginner'!

[prozack28]

haha suitcoats awesome.... nice studio.

[Drumguy4]

o how i wish to have a studio. i have everything but a computer in my basement. i have the mics, drums mixer. dang all i have is this family desktop for a computer :( sorry to rant. nice video

[beatson13]

just buy cubase and a decent DAC (interface) and there you have it

[adio5467]

sm57 on the kick?

[cycline321]

read info buddy

[oakapplestudios]

hahah love the james brown

nice studio

[jackisfish]

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[WhiteBladeMusic]

great!

[pallorri]

nice home studio

[benenemy]

good stuff. i don't wanna be a wise ass but you might get a better(more neutral) sound if you put up your monitors so that the tweeters are on ear height and not in the corner or too close to your wall.

cheers

[sleeplessinhfx]

I don't think I would be putting an SM57 on the kick. most ppl would use  SM BETA 52

[krachbummente89]

i would put the sm57 on the snare top and also on the bottom( phase reverse ON)...you get a much better sound

for the bassdrum i would use a shure beta52

and to get a much tighter sound i would recommend using the shure beta91 boundry condenser mic...

and i would use 2 overhead mics so you get a better stereo

[krachbummente89]

sound^^

[MaGma112]

If im honest a AKG D112 is the best option for bass drums in the studio or in live sound venue's. Best at picking up high SPL frequencies. SM57's yes on the snare! A Must Have! for toms personally i would go for sm57's too, but other people prefer the samson tom kit mics and errr, over heads. In my opinion cymbals sound best on a CL8 or a B5 small diaphragm condensers. :)

[jamesallan87]

Yeah a beta52, D112 or e602 for the kick ;)

[Sakabilli]

yo dude love the studio, but u should definetely use the sm57 for a snare mic instead.

[24nachos24]

how did you record your drums???????

[comehead914]

with mics and an interface

[ilovetcm]

dood, thats the polyrhythm Danny Carey uses in the tool song Lateralus. you rocked it man.

[datommaster]

eulogy is the song. :P

[klingle123]

haha i love ur suit jacket!

[dahonkie]

Why did you do this video, to brag?

Not very impressive!

[jimrox9000]

people asked what he used...

[sonofnothing]

instead of playing that beat though, you should have hit each drum a few times nice and solid to hear the sound. nice set up, awaiting m tascam in the mail today!

[gibs0nguitaro]

tell me howd u like the sm57s on the toms/snare? get a nice sound? thinking about buying a few

[collintru]

Eulogy polyrhythm!!!

[gibs0nguitaro]

hey i use those monitors...pretty decent....but why a shure sm57 on the bass? go with an audix

[rayskipper]

this was when i was experimenting on the versatility of the 57. it actually was pretty clear for recording, but lacked the boom. i now use an audio technica made for bass drum, and th e57 on the batter side of the kick.

[crubbish123]

dose the tascam you use record all your mics on to differnt channles

[rayskipper]

yes, all diff channels, but all on cubase.

[oppossum4000]

impressed with the eulogy lick comin from a beginner

[rayskipper]

:-D

[MapexRG]

nice suit. I can see that you have a nice feel for drumming. The room's too big though

[Purifiedinfire]

The room is too small not to big, the waves bouce of the walls and xome back super short making tons of noise.

[lilsheed9]

your kind of funny

but your 2 lol

[feelee15]

you can hear WAYYYY too much room with the drums

[per835]

ZBT? gay

[nicoborovsky]

excelent kit!!!!!!

[TAMAdrummer1010]

EC2s FTW!! hahaha

[tommizzzle]

i dig the blazer.

[ruslanio]

What are your thought's on those M-Audio AV-40Studiophile Monitors? I am wondering if I should buy them, or ust save up for KRG's.

[Edordorito]

you got a really nice home studio, your drums sound really good. "girl scout cookies" hahaha. keep up the good drumming

[fghtffyrobesity]

What heads do you have on your toms?

I have the same set but your toms sound alot better

[rayskipper]

hydraulics

[drummafagod]

you got a nice set up there

[gongaka]

u suck at drums

[kiteLe06]

hey, do you use the factory stock soundcard in your laptop, and do you find the sound to be compressed at all?

[kodykahn18]

awesome cuz i need to find out how everything sounds on ur kit because im thinkin of gettin the same. so please do a good cover!! what songs are you thinkin of?

[kodykahn18]

could you do some drum covers???

[odey9999]

ohmygod, everything i use i can fit in a shoebox!!! no wonder i have only posted one thing... : )

[MichaelBradus]

I've been looking into these tascams because i need a few more inputs. I was wondering if the one your using ever pops or clicks during recording. My presonus Inspire preamp pops like hell on any computer with less than 2 gigs of ram. I would appreciate any input on this.

[georgieporgie321]

If the popping is coming from the output of the computers soundcard, or whatever output you are using to monitor from the computer, and not the analogue output of the preamp itself, then it could be that the latency you are using for a/d conversion is set to too short a time for the computer your using, which would explain why on computers with more ram it stops.

[MichaelBradus]

Have you ever had any trouble with pops on your tascam? It seems like an awsome deal for the price.

[death6to6chavs6]

recommendation - if you want a good mic for bass drums then you should try the AKG D112 very good low end response and the sound is spot on. they're quite cheap aswell i think you can pick them up for around £90 in the u.k. also if it hasnt been mentioned allready try get another condenser for another overhead then angle one slightly left and one slightly right to get a broader sound. you could also try mic both sides of the kick drum front and back. and with the snare do top bottom and the side

[imjustakid22]

um..... um........ you say that allot

[simpleplan951]

ahah u shud use mac for computer its more exciting hahah

[davidmanpa]

SPIDERMAN...GOOD!

[kaydiscool]

So for recording your drums, you use the Tascam US-1641 Audio Interface, and that connects straight to your computer via USB?

[freedom0f5peech]

I hope you don't keep the laptop in-front of your right speaker all the time... haha.

[simonpca]

Your overhead is not placed correctly: as it is a side-adressed microphone, it gets the sound from the "side" (where the logo generally is).

[ROBERTtheGUITARIST]

nice sneaze, lol, n sweet studio, nice little room

[wildbill1240]

sure thing! keep 'em coming.

[wildbill1240]

nice, I like that snare. I've got a friend with the 1641. That's a great unit.

[LoparXL]

That's a nice studio you got there. How well does the bass sound on your studio monitors? Do they have an output for a subwoofer?

[BryanTheDrummerx]

james brown HUGH

[Cheloniamundo]

nice set..n nice coat

[AlexAcE1]

Why don't u try to create some music? search for Reason , it has all the musical instruments and drums, mixers, sound effects... This could help you. Btw, nice stuff there. Which software is good for recording? And how much that microphone costs?

[tomiken123]

Nice suit man!, you seem to have a very natural coordination for doing drums... so have a band or any myspace where you can be heard?

You seem quite creative. Cool vid!

[mastersounddd]

is the Tascam US 1641 have a option to engine a digital mixer to record for all chanells individually? thank you ;)

[mastersounddd]

hey can you tell me..can i use the Tascam us 1641 whith digital mixer..?

[adorepeaches]

hey,

is cubase le4 a good program to use?

is it simply and easy? does it produce good music? thanks man

[slipknotfrk12090]

get another condenser and google glyn johns drum mic technique.

youll get a much better sound.

i watched this video because i wanted to hear what the hydraulic heads sounded like but there wasnt too much tom work so i guess ill just have to ask you how they sound? haha

[mastersounddd]

Hey brother pleaseee can you tell me somthing about Tascam US-1641...is that a good sound card?

[arwidcool]

Hey nice video man .. i was wondering how the Studiophile AV 40 are man? am thnking about getting them?

[kSUbizgrad]

cool vid, drums are, by far, the hardest instrument to record...good luck with it.

[karlitalisman]

Hey man, im thinking buy a TASCAM US-1641... can you tell me if works fine? latency? stability?

Thank you!

[daveissound]

yeee:) im just ordering a 22" custom ride i cant wait to get it:D, if you want ill tell you what hes like when i get him

[daveissound]

no prob

The best thing do do is save up and go straight for the top end cymbals, i started on shit cymbals then went to intermeidiate cymbals, with all that money i could of just bought some proper nice k-customs ( which im saving yet again for)

its tempting to get some mid range ones but go straight for the top end cymbals, then you probably aint going to be buying all again

[RexLaboro]

Yeah, I think all the m-audio pro3's have that problem after I did a little research. I couldnt mix like that. I got the DX4's I believe their called. I should have them by the weekend. Thanks for the input.

[daveissound]

nice one!

if i was you i would definetly invest in some new cymbals

zbts are not the way to go

[RexLaboro]

I had some m-audio monitors that were louder in one one speaker than the other. Do you have this problem with those? I want to buy the audiophile av 20's but not if they have the same problem.

Thanks

[bigvuch]

do you have Evans Hydraulic heads on the bottom too?

Please Reply.

[robdrums69]

check out my home studio sometime, click on my name.

Drum kit isn't setup...right now...

Yamaha Stage custom jazz kit with paiste cymbals...

[7DustFury]

Hey man, sounds killer, how much did those mics run ya?

[pacificyolk]

cool, hey where's that polyrhythm from? Wouldn't be Eulogy, would it?

[yadman02]

you room is very "reverby" on camera, but the sound on mic sounds very nice, gives it a nice wide space sound, i would still suggest some acoustic treatment around the back of the room (opposite the drums, which usually sound better away from the corners (but i see the lack of space)) to attenuate those standing waves... but that's just my opinion, a bit. cheers

[Queen210]

oooooh icic. Well at least you know what your doing. Many people just use computer Speakers. :D

[BusaBeats1023]

DAAAAWG UR STUDIO'S SEXXXXI MAAAAN!!! HAHAH...ey, dat joint looks tyt tho man!!

[chrisn0va]

nice 1 dude!! :)

[rohbit]

You know, for someone who's just starting on the drummer, you're pretty damn good. Are you taking lessons or are you going the self-taught route?

[HenrikAlexM]

yea ive def heard the second beat sumwhere...i dun remember

[HDOG]

haha cool man! haha dang ur so popular now haha and sumone even favorited this video..hahah how odd...maybe u have a stalker hahaha but thats cool man, u better be makin a lot of songs for me...haha and james brown

[Queen210]

Nice setup. Do you do a lot of mixing? How do you like using the M-Audio Monitors?

[adorepeaches]

beautiful studio, im planning to make a home studio too, but it seems expensive... the whole studio must cost a lot.

[Cazador42265]

*Salud*  UROC. What kind of camera? Nice studio bro- rock on....

[groundnpound702]

dope room brother. are you planning on making it sound proof?
