Rants of a professional drummer and recording engineer.

Death metal project setup day

You know how hard it is to find a certain cable, adapter, pair of headphones, amp, speaker, mic clip bla bla bla… when your gear has been in a storage unit for 3.5 years? Hard. Add to that the fact that it’s zero friggin’ degrees here and I’m not kidding. It really is zero.

I ended up finding bin after bin of cable. Thousands of feet, tens of thousands of dollars worth of cable just sitting there in plastic bins. Rather than dig through them I just brought the damn bins to the gig in my van. Then I could search for just what I needed.

I was able to get setup fairly well, only had to make one cable for a set of cans.

I got cubase sx 2 on my MacBook working and managed to get levels through a Tascam FW1804 and Behringer adat mic pre box.

The setup will have about 12 channels of drum mics, plus a dummy bass track and initial guitar tracks. That’s what tracking will be on Tuesday, if the gear works.

I'm a professional drummer, sound engineer and golf freak. Some thoughts that leak out of my cranium end up here. Some material here may not be suitable for children or idiots who don't have a sense of humor.
