Hey, how do you get each drum to appear individually when you put it into your computer? Is there an interface you need?

[recordbetteraudio]

If you have an interface that has 8 inputs then you can record 8 different tracks at the same time.

Can you hook up a mixer to an Mbox 2 and record 8 individual tracks in pro tools at the same time of course???? help please

[recordbetteraudio]

No sorry, first the mixer would have to have 8 out puts and the the mbox would have to have 8 inputs. Each input on the mbox has a A to D card (Audio to digital) how many cards (or processors) there is, is how many channels you can record. Which mbox do you have?

[Musicosm]

The gate on the bottom snare mic is set too high. And the volume is too loud.  Listen to when he does a fast snare fill. Nothing but bottom snare mic.

Any thing below 100 Hz you wont hear on normal speakers (i.e car, boom box, clock radio) 40-60 bottom will mud up the drums. also you should be using the kick the accent the bass line. bass has the bottom. Kick tightens the low bass up. And one other thing. All he did was EQ and maybe adjust the levels. no comp, verb, any other efectxs

thats a horrible drum mix

[jorge616]

I have the Mbox 2. but what if i get a mixer that has usb connection then could i do it???????

[DJSoulVOX]

Still don't think the drums sound very good. Actually, I think it's the fact that the drums them selves aren't very good sounding. Buy new heads and O rings. You'd be surprised how much better it'll sound.

[bubnjarovski]

what i need mixer, audio card and mics??

[Irish614]

you have to assign them to busses in your audio software then create audio tracks and rename them.

[vincentjdrummer]

Still the best starting point is to get all the individual tracks sound good. It will save you much more trouble, cause when you mix it hearing it all at the same time it's a lot harder to know what's happening where frequency wise. As far as I've experienced the overall picture will sound great too when you get all the tracks right and it'll need minimal tweaking

Great instructions.
