Traditionally the most difficult part of home recording has been the drum kit.
Drum recording room size.
Many home recorders have achieved studio quality guitar bass and keyboard recordings yet strike out on the drums.
My room is 12x11x7.
Height 11ft width 23ft length 38ft that s before room within a room construction and acoustic treatments etc.
The mics might cost more than your drums.
Sound city operates in an acoustically treated live room and a control room built for high quality music recording and production.
I find that when your room is too big it actually sound smaller.
I ve recorded drums before in a similar room that came out great.
It was sheetrock walls and ceiling with carpet floor.
Been spending a lot of time lately on your youtube videos as well.
At this point i can t change the physical size of the space but more focused on room treatment to maximize the rooms potential.
If you re looking to do any kind of recording in the future please keep this in mind as small spaces may inhibit your ability to record properly.
A tama drum kit marshall vintage amps the right cab and a variety of microphones to achieve your wanted sound.
It was all about placement and the sound of the drums themselves.
My booth was never intended for recording drums but it s definitely big enough to squeeze in a drum kit says colliva.
However if you are recording they have some downsides.
Within that room i m trying to fit a live room to track drums and other instruments as well as a control room and maybe even a tiny vocal booth.
But i ve recorded decent drum tracks in a room that was no bigger than 11 x10 with 8 ceilings.
Comprising a mixing room and an adjoining recording booth he uses it to mix records record overdubs develop artists and albums and experiment with sounds.
I m looking for a medium live sound with some flexibility.
Building a drum room and came across this post.
I will solely record acoustic drums.
I just finish tracking drums for an r b record and we end up tracking drums in a 10x17 with an 8 ceiling room.
Outfitting each drum with good microphones is incredibly expensive.
We prefer the tone of the drums and the ambiance we were getting compare to when the drums were in the bigger tracking room 4 x its size with an 18 foot ceiling.
That room was even untreated.
Yeah i definitely ideally prefer a high and angled ceiling.
Even with good mics you will need a good sounding room to record in.
So it s a cert the space will be smaller.
The basic outer shell of the shed is.
This is not only true for mic placements but also getting the proper drum sound in a small room can be difficult as it requires you to move your kit around to get an ideal.
With its 35 square metres of space our live room allows almost any recording task to be completed.
