Some personal advice for really cheap acoustic treatment: those collapsible nylon laundry hampers stuffed with clothes work as great short bass traps or gobos, and a tall book shelf with all the books pulled out/pushed in random amounts is a really effective diffuser. Also, when I redid my ceiling the cheapest option was a drop ceiling with acoustic panels--so if you have the initial height--those will do amazing things for your room too.
wheres the video for the basics of mixing those drums you mentioned was the next video???? would help a lot for the use i currently need. anyway, your channel and your videos are great, thanks so much!
Im using a Zoom H2 to record my drums atm, one problem I am having is that the hihat cymbals overpower everything else. what would you recommend for minimising the hihats in the recording? also, the H2 is placed about 5ft away from the kit sitting on a 2x12 (vertical) guitar cab.
You will need to use a mixer to mix two of those channels into one. But remember - you can't mix them separately after recording (so make sure to get the sound right before pressing record). Here is a video that will help with setup: th-cam.com/video/HQ_rfHqN4K8/w-d-xo.html
Reaper seems to be the way to go for recording instruments. I was reluctant at first as I thought I needed something sexier like Ableton or whatever but after reading many threads about this reaper seems to be the way to go. It's essentially free but I just paid 70 bucks for the full version.
Having an 8 pcs kit ( 2 bass drum ) i would imagine i'll need 4 mics in my case ( one for each kicks ) one overhead and one wherever i can capture the toms and snare. Am i right?
one thing I like about this video is that they give you the actual raw audio without any fancy decorations to make it sound better

Nicely discussed, Thanks.
Real advice. thank you.
Did you ever make a video about mixing drums?
I always seem to get too much of the ride when using an overhead. Going to try and shove that thing in the middle next time.
Woow ! Super information.thank you very much.
Great video - thanks a lot!
Excellent advice.
Just out of curiosity, why small diaphragm condenser mics instead of large?
thanks, great info
Thanks Kyle.
Thanks for watching!

Does this work live?
I haven’t tried it live, but it’s worth a try!
How can I connect 3 mics to a 2 input audio interface

@@AudioUniversity thank you time for some drum covers
Love your videos ❤
Awesome 😎 great info.
A great drummer is 90% of the battle. Thanks, @Doural Drums!
what about mixing drums tips video? :)
great video but how can I improve the kick drum sound??
I'd start by looking up kick drum tuning and muffling techniques, and then EQ and mixing. Having a port hole really helps open your options as well
Put an old pillow inside it, place your mic over it, and EQ it
Ty ✌️🙏😃
Thanks for watching, ED GHOST!
Can you tell me which audio softwares would i be needing? im working with windows 11
