Thanks for the reply. I’m looking at DB25 connector as I’m going into my DB25 ins and outs on my Audient ASP 880 over ADAT to interface. When I come to track my drums I can use the rack as external FX.. And when I use the rack mic pres to track I can just press the AD button the front of...

Good clean recordings can be had with cheap modern day interfaces…. But it’s not just about that…it’s how much clean gain the pre amp offers… Then we get into driving the preamp into harmonic distortion and transformers costing more… Use what drives your mojo…and what you can afford… Music...

Please could you recommend a 8 unit 500 series rack? Any other things to consider before I enter the rabbit hole? Cheers

Sure, I want to experiment with new microphones and placement and recording using different mics. I didn’t have £1000 to spend on one mic when I began recording drums. So I bought the Shure mic kit. Now I can get a good drum sounds with it, I want to learn using different microphones like...

I want to try an M88 on the Kick, a Mono M160 OH a Cole’s room a M201 on snare etc…and have a play…the Shure DMK57-52 Drum Microphone KiT has done me proud and I can get an excellent drum recording…but I’ve out grown it… The beauty is I can throw a SM57 on my guitar cab along with a M160...

It’s got bass traps in the corners and few acoustic panels…I’m just looking at adding some space to my OH mics and close mics.

You have the null point of the Fig 8 pointing at the kit from say at distance

I currently have 6 mics on the kit….I want to add 7th mono room mic.

Want to use a mono room mic The room is a double Garage size.

Fig 8 Drum Room Mic Looking at a 24/7 Drum Room mic….I was going to use Fig 8 mode off axis… Set and forget…. Any ideas ? Thanks

So that must be at least 12 tracks then having at least 6 free for more overdubs….18 tracks…so possible around 30 tracks Indeed!

I’m not sure what you mean? They recorded basic rhythm tracks on 3 tracks and these were bounced down to the 4th track leaving tracks 1-3 free for more overdubbing….I know they used at least two 4 track tape machines… They would have used well more than 8 tracks…

I‘m not looking at what they would have done If they had the tracks…I’m asking about how many tracks roughly would they have needed to get the same results in Pepper without the bounce downs.

I've always wondered how many tracks The Beatles would have used to get the same result without bouncing? Beatles recorded Sgt Pepper using a 4-track machines. So focus is on that Album, If they didn't bounce how many tracks would they have used to get the same result? I don't mean splitting...

So 6” foam with a Density 30kg/m3 is no good For bass traps? GIK use 45KG/m3 Earthwool are resilient, non-combustible rock mineral wool slabs. Because of it's density and rigidity, the 45 kg/m3 Knauf Insulation Earthwool with ECOSE® Technology is ideal for making thicker panels...
