Felix, is your monitor on top of a mini fridge??

If yes, then you are a man after my own heart in more ways than I already thought.

Wonderful thread, by the way. My band is about to embark on a large-scale home recording project, perhaps I should make a similar (yet much much much lower-tech) thread. You know, for us little guys that don't have a HOME STUDIO.

I have also always wanted to know what The Felix looks like. I know there's a Show Us Your Drums thread; maybe there should be a show us your face thread.

heidi heido ho again.

well, after two weeks of after school, weekend warrior endeavors I think I got a decent drum track for this tune- close enough for rock n roll anyways.

It's just piano and drums- we start layering now and I have to come up with some lyrics  get some "cookie monster" vocals happening... he he he

Here's a clip if you feel like listening to what I have so far.  It's not cranked to mastering levels, so you might have to crank up your puter's speakers.  Don't expect much for fills either.  If there is one thing I've learned at DC it's to play measured and even (at least attempt to).

I'm really happy how my cymbals are turning out.  I'm running them thru the bottom tube pre (see my front end of mic preamps)  It's the black and green digitech one.  I replaced the 12ax7 tubes in them (they were russian) with some phillips NOS tubes.  Boy they seem to be doing the trick.  Then the kick and snare go into the Neumann VT476 pre's (middle stereo pair) and the toms and another kick mic (EV RE20) go into the top focusrite.  All these pre's plug into the focusrite 428 digital converter card (analog to digital 4+4) total) and then I go digital into the adat:



I then mix my headphone level on my board (after it comes out of the adat- sorry forgot to mention that):



Then I route them into another stereo buss which I run back into my drum room via this headphone amp.  I usually just leave the overheads on to monitor with while I'm tracking.  I like a little verb in the mix too.



Ok, thanks for dropping by 

Sounding good felix!  Nice and punchy

Oh, thanks a bunch guys.  I try.

I will be taking a couple of weeks off so I had to turn everything off and cover it up yesterday 

I will miss my drummin' and recording stuff (even though it drives me crazy half the time).

One of my customers from NYC is coming out at the end of october to tweak my room.  He's some hot shot studio designer and speaker builder (he's building me a sub).  So that will be alot of fun and kinda interesting too I would think- at least for me  .
