    Some personal advice for really cheap acoustic treatment: those collapsible nylon laundry hampers stuffed with clothes work as great short bass traps or gobos, and a tall book shelf with all the books pulled out/pushed in random amounts is a really effective diffuser. Also, when I redid my ceiling the cheapest option was a drop ceiling with acoustic panels--so if you have the initial height--those will do amazing things for your room too.

    Having an 8 pcs kit ( 2 bass drum ) i would imagine i'll need 4 mics in my case ( one for each kicks ) one overhead and one wherever i can capture the toms and snare. Am i right?

      Reaper seems to be the way to go for recording instruments. I was reluctant at first as I thought I needed something sexier like Ableton or whatever but after reading many threads about this reaper seems to be the way to go.
      It's essentially free but I just paid 70 bucks for the full version.

    • @DevinJuularValentine
      @DevinJuularValentine 9 місяців тому

      I'd start by looking up kick drum tuning and muffling techniques, and then EQ and mixing. Having a port hole really helps open your options as well

    • @AudioUniversity

      You will need to use a mixer to mix two of those channels into one. But remember - you can't mix them separately after recording (so make sure to get the sound right before pressing record).
      Here is a video that will help with setup: ua-cam.com/video/HQ_rfHqN4K8/v-deo.html
