Yes. Group, and select a small area and move. The kick and snare hits are obviously easy to get, but probably have to listen a couple times to get a good spot in the cymbals that also work good with those. Basically need a vertical gap through all the drum tracks where there is nothing happening.

Love it Ha, I feel that. So my experience is the only way to do it is by editing all the drums tracks as a group. The trick is finding where the cymbals have gaps in the OHs. Otherwise it becomes a phasey mess.

Is it all live tracked or did you overdub the bass and guitar

B&H and Sweetwater both sell them, or Reverb. They are by far the most rugged. Yeah, I love those old white ones. I have probably 8 or 10? I've taken a few and used them on new Mogami cable.

One great and cheap hack for someone who can't outlay for full isolation cans I like is get some standard Shure 215s and then get industrial ear protectors to put over them. Super iso.

I actually have a small collection of Whirlwind. I love the old connectors. The still make the nest snakes in the biz imo.

These are what I use for tracking, pretty much the most used headphone ever. They are way too hyped in the bass for mixing though, I use Sennheiser HD600s for that

The only 4 ohm 4 x 12 I have is the one I had built for my Bassman. All the rest are typical 16 ohm Marshalls.

Yeah, as I age, ye olde manual has become a lot more appealing than when I was 20 and refused to read it on principle. Let me think though, I did have some good stuff on it a few years back. Its not too hard if you already know any other DAW, its mostly different shortcuts and the GUI is a bit unique, more geared to MIDI.

My brown Deluxe through a 4 x 12 will melt faces. I support all these little guys through big cabs

Studios can be very very sterile environments. A lot has gone in to making them more homey, unfortunately coinciding with the decline of the industry. But definitely an upside of the home recorder is comfort and less of that tech lab atmosphere. But yeah, session guys are really good at what they do. Every pick stroke is magnified and the slightest timing variation stands out. Microphones are unrelentingly honest. Tom Bukovac has talked a lot about it, pretty interesting to hear what he has to say. Mark Knopfler considers himself just good enough to record as a benchmark for how consistent session dudes are. I 100% believe this. It takes years of practice at building a song track by track and having feel. It's funny you bring it up though, I was just having a conversation with my drummer the other week about an EP we cut in 2000. Last time I tracked to tape in fact. But anyway, we were totally broke 20 somethings, so we couldn't afford anything but a half day session for the whole band, which was pretty much going in, setup, play the songs straight through and leave lol. So everything on there was first take live except the vocals. I was listening to a few songs from it recently, and I was fairly shocked that there were no real mistakes I could discern, and I text my drummer "hey, did we really just play all that shit in one take?" because I was pretty sure we did but memory is getting fuzzy and all that, but I was a little disbelieving that we could just rock up and play all the songs that well. Certainly couldn't now. But then again, being a 20 something with no real responsibility and the time to play music all the time is a big difference. I still regret the mixing job they did on that EP. It was the dawn of really having Pro Tools out there, and the studio had a modest setup where one of the partners was the mixer. And he was frankly awful. Butchered the mix. I'd give anything to have those multitracks today to get to a real mixer.

One thing you have to deal with @Lurch is you have all perpendicular walls, which is kind of a bitch for reflections, especially in a small room where modes will be tricky. It actually occurred to me to mention you probably want to do some room measurements down the line. I definitely would get setup and making tunes first, but you can get a test mic and REW software to measure the acoustic response and go from there.

One thing I would add to earlier mic talk, you can never have too many SM57s.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I'll give you a hammer and bet you 100 bucks you couldn't knock it off. It's 3 piece maple with a volute. I could use use it to demo sheetrock in my spare time.- The Guitar Pron Thread
So I was looking through some old photos for something, and stumbled upon this picture that shows the apparent concern I have for any damage every befalling my '76 LP. Seems I just had it leaning against my rack stuff in the middle of a gig lol.- Music Makers
Yes, this. It's also fairly genre dependent. Some pop, hip hop and EDM type stuff you tend to be more geared to streaming and Tik Tok etc, while punk, rock and metal favor live gigging with Bandcamp. Then there is a bunch of esoteric shit which essentially has no market at all. With original rock bands, which is pretty much all of my experience, it's honestly not so different than it has ever been. Play gigs, at which you sell records of various media and promote. The biggest difference is probably driving traffic to Bandcamp. Physical media is definitely making a comeback with the kids though. Tapes, CD's and vinyl sell. Getting people on your email list is critical, those are the engaged fans. Social media followers are almost worthless. My general goal is recouping all the recording costs and getting free beer.- Music Makers

Adding to this, whatever way you go, the most important thing is to learn your system. It takes time and repetition to understand how what you hear is going to sound in other places.- The Guitar Pron Thread
