Hello,
I have to record drums on a mackie cr1604. I'm planning on using 4 mics
kick, snare, 2ovhds. The drums will be tracked with the mackies
preamps...The other istruments will be tracked using external preamps.
My question is what is the cleanest way to get the drums down to a
stereo track? would it be best to just use the stereo outs on the
mackie and send the drums to 2 tracks on my da38?..or use the alt 3/4?
or track then bounce. Also when If I would just use the stereo outs on
the mackie would it be kick and snare up the middle and hard pans on
the overheads? would that still give me control over the drums during
mixing? simple questions but I've really just recorded myself and
rarely used a full drum kit.
any help appreciated,
brian
