How exactly you recorded it? each mic on the XLR outputs of UX8? if its that simple it sounds amazing though :)

[Exi7Music]

yeah, just plug the mics in and hit record yo. Once you have that, compress the snare to make everything come in at the same velocity without killing the dynamics totally. Compress the toms doing the same thing. I replaced the kick sound with a kick sample using APTrigga. I used the API 2500 stereo mixer on toms, snare, and overheads. ;) jesus.

[Exi7Music]

Its all about snare tuning and mic placement, I didn't use any EQ. Basically a compresser just brings every hit that may be at a different velocity up to the same velocity to be more audible. What you're hearing is exactly what the snare sounds like.

hey, i love that snare sound.

hows it sound on the mixer?

[Exi7Music]

It sounds pretty much the same, I just put a transparent brickwall limiter on it. ;)

[titopunk]

Well done!!! hey dude dou you know if the ux8 works with sonar and windows xp??

[hlmm80]

I have read that latency sucks on this Item? personally I preffer firewire stuff because of the zero latency. Have someone try it??? At least for me its imposible to record with latency I get loss...

[PandaSkate666]

heads?

[EastHunter2009]

You obviously know how to drum (really good) and know how to record it. Now.......GET MORE DRUMS!!!!! Seriously.

[xWhyNotProductionsx]

do you have any complaints about the UX8 running all inputs at once? I've heard it can be buggy but have't heard any SPECIFIC problems. Just vague complaints. Thanks!

40-44 awsome :)

[jasonpfrey]

Great job man, keep it up!

[Stifledsubmission]

hey did the line 6 ux 8 comewith a USb 2.0 cable? If so how long was it?

[JuiceofVM]

Few timing issues but...i dunno if thats your style or what. Pretty good though.
