  • you spent all of that money and your recordings still sound like shit.

  • If you want to hear the master of the song watch the Reverse audio effect part 1. I think you will notice a difference.

  • I started up a blog on home recording for beginners. Check out my channel and the link is in my latest video.

  • You can already buy a drum kit with the combined prices of your instrument mics. =)

  • @Mastershake771 one mic up, other down, each one gets a different sound, if you only take the upper mic, it will sound weird.

  • I think your recording is ameture and dull superficial

    your mics are mediocre and you did not say what preamps you are using

    but really you need to learn and experiment a little bit more before you even think about posting a 101 video about mic positioning and recording ....

    good luck in the future\

  • Why don't you mic up my ballbag?

  • WOW that might be the worst snare sound ever!

  • @Netspin1 there's nothing more annoying then someone reading an obviously figurative phrase and then acting as if it is literal.

  • @mirrastyle4524 For the record:

    Apparently "mirrastyle4524" knows what shit sounds like.

    There's nothing more helpful than some douche bag claiming "...it's like shit." Why doesn't anyone ever ask the turd, "Does shit have bad breath, too?"

  • Hate to say it- of course it is a matter of preference but those drum sounds are Horrible!- especially the kick drum.!! Ruke of thumb for most recordings as a starting point stand back from a drum set or- better yet sit on the throne and listen to how the set sounds- Then mic the kit and compare. - clickety clickety kick sounds are the worst thing to happen to recorded audio in 30 years!

  • sorry but the mix doesn't sound. great job on explanation though
