  • Audioswap much? I wanted to hear the original recoring of this to see how it sounds

  • @TNBTBS I recently got a home studio, and I guess I will pick up a few piezos from radioshack even knowing I just got drum mics at a steal. I would see these useful in making a electric drum set or future drum recording. I use a alesis multimix 8 usb mixer so It has the inputs but I can only reocrd left and right in mixcraft but if you have a multi channel recording program that would be cool.

  • @DECIFERTHIS09 First you'll need a program for recording (Unless you already own one.) I could email mine to you if you want, it's a portable version. (Meaning it's a compiled program file, click-and-go style.) The reason for having a program is you'll need to record multiple lines at one time, one line/track per-drum.

    After that, regarding a home-made piezo contact microphone, the quality isn't going to be wonderful, but it should work decent.
