Thank you very much. Last time I tried to record my drums was 20 years ago. Here we go again. Thanks for putting it all together and making it understandable.
very helpful! I've been playing drums for 18 years and up until now I have had no desire to record myself. ironic that my childhood beat friend and guitarist in my first band is now a sound engineer for some big wig company in Nashville. lol anyway, interface. that's all I need. I knew there was a missing component and you are the first person to explain the process quickly, efficiently, and in order. thanks a lot.
Last time I watched this video I had no recording equipment..Now I have 4 mics and interface and better drum gears like hat stands and cymbal stand it was a nice jump.Already said it on here but like Benny Greb says "If you repeat something you give it more value" So Awesome fucking channel your new studio is awesome. Can't wait for more content
I've been teaching myself for 10 years but finally reaching in to working on instrument recordings. This has helped so much. I've been using behringer for the past 2 years
Thanks for putting this series together Austin. Definitely the most comprehensive and helpful set of videos I've come across on UA-cam. You've helped me get my own studio sorted.
The liquid sapphire 8 + the OctaPre (ADAT) is the ideal setup for anyone. As you mention, it’s not necessary to start with, but when your budget is wandering around interfaces that have 2ins and 2outs, it’s just not practical. I’ve found a decent way to connect a Behringer mixer and it’s preamps to a 2 in interface. Super cheap, but lacks the ability to isolate individual drums and mics in post.
This setup is also perfect for those who are wanting to start something serious with studio recording! what's the name of the headphone amp to expand the ammount of headphones?!
Hey brothers I'm a bit confused on how Mr. Burcham is using a XLR patchbay and an Audio Interface and dhow the two components merge together so he can have more microphone inputs and I believe the patchbay is where he is plugging his mics into thanks guys just a kid that is looking into record some drums very very soon and just want to make sure that I completely understand how this process works.Thank you in advance
+drummerboy6358 The patchbay is only there to make plugging the mic cables in more convenient. It doesn't expand the number of inputs I have in my system, it just gives me easier access to all the inputs I already have from the interface and preamp, which is 16 in total (8 from the Saffire 56, 8 from the Octopre.) The patchbay outputs are all connected to the 16 inputs of the interface and octopre with short xlr patch cables, which then allows me to just plug my mic cables into the patchbay instead of the interface/preamp inputs themselves (cuz they're harder to get to.) Hope that helps!
Hey, m currently buying some stuff for a room i'm setting up. I would like to know more about the room it self, how you set it up, what bass traps or acoustics etc you used. go more in depth with your room set up to get an idea of what else i need. via comment would be cool but a video for that would be awesome too, thanks!
All i can imagine after you said your going to need drums to record your drums is some dude on a throne with like 20 microphones trying to play the drums
Hey dude thanks heaps for making this video and keeping it nice and simple. youve just earned yourself a subscriber , keep these video coming and hopefully you keep all your videos as simple as possible. cheers
Awesome video Austin! I think the biggest factor of the whole studio setup (funnily enough it isn't about specific equipment :P) is the patience, commitment and time put into actually starting and progressing the state of your studio. I don't own anything apart from my own drum set for a studio, but I do use the studio my school offers complete with all its equipment, which I will never be thankful enough for. It works well for what it is :) But I do hope in the future, I'll be able to have a studio of my own which I could record in :) Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
I’ve watched these video so many times and they’ve helped me start my own lil studio set up! I love the music at the start and end of the video too. Nostalgic af, is there a link for the song by chance?
?Hi Austin, Thanks for the great videos. Can you let us know how you get such clear sound straight out from the toms an kick without the snare feedback
Excellent video, I have question please: What is the distance between your interface and computer? Cause the usb cable it’s crucial about latency or data lost... Have you ever have problems about that? Thanks
Hey guys another question.I got a Tascam US 1200 a basic 6 input Usb Audio interface it has 4 XLR inputs and 2 1/4 inputs.Could I use all the XLR inputs for drums and those two 1/4 inputs for other mics (Overhead mics) using a XLR to 1/4 or are those inputs strictly for Guitar and Line?Thanks guys
Hey Austin! Love your channel and really enjoyed this video. If you have a moment to spare, I was curious... Is your sound-proofed room in the garage air conditioned? And, did you build the room yourself?
Yea there's an air conditioner in the corner. You can see it in some of my videos... as for the room, my former roommate actually paid a construction guy to come in and build the room so we could use it to rehearse because we were all in a band at that time. He eventually moved back to his home country and I just kind of inherited the room so to speak. I'm extremely lucky to have it now and I'm grateful to my old roomie for spending the money to do that, but that's the story of the room!
Helpful videos bro , Im just starting to do drum covers ... would you be able to make a video on how to remove drums from a song or lower as much as possible?
Hi Austin, can you tell me what kind of camera(s) you use when you record? Also, what software do you use to produce your videos? They're great, as is your playing! Thanks
I use a Canon T3i w/ a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens and Final Cut Pro X for editing. My full gear list is at www.abbdrums.com/gear if you want to check that out :)
I got very bogged down with trying to record my acoustic drums and could never achieve a satisfactory sound. Then I bought a Roland TD-20 drum set. I've never looked back. I can create any drum sound imaginable and I've had my drum tracks dropped directly into projects without the need for any additional processing. I had one engineer comment on how good my recorded tracks sound. You can buy used TD-20 for under $1000 bucks. If you are on a budget and still want amazing recordings I highly recommend it. If you can afford a TD-30 even better.
+UtwoBed I would love to have one of the higher end Roland electronic kits because I think they're fun as hell. It's nice to just sit down and play and be creative without worrying about all this other stuff like tuning, recording, mixing, etc... However, I do also enjoy the challenge of tuning, playing, and recording an acoustic drum set. Even though it's harder and more time consuming, it's also fun to me to try and develop all of those skills that I wouldn't have to with an electronic kit. But, I do agree with you that e-kits are awesome!
Your editing is so damn satisfying! Killed it as always Austin!
+Adam Tuminaro Thanks Adam! I appreciate that 🙏
@@abbdrums ohh.. this guy@Adam Tuminaro is also here. Always looking his new chops.
How do those audio interfaces connect to your computer?
"Buys $4000 drumset no car" really hurt me in the feels haha
I don’t even know how to drive....
@@MalikEmmanuel Me too. There is so many cars with drivers... I prefer playing drums.
F*CKING ROOM....best delivery!
Marc Hughes facts! Lol
@@Jhansellproductions oh ya that made me just crack up!
We Love your work Austen. Keep going, and 'never give up', you are a 'gifted' teacher! Massive Respect!

You absolute hero. Almost singularly the best drumming resource on UA-cam right now, and growing fast. Spreading the word for ya. Thank you!
Thank you very much. Last time I tried to record my drums was 20 years ago. Here we go again. Thanks for putting it all together and making it understandable.
Austin, terrific job. I have viewed your videos multiple times as I begin work on recording my drums. Very clear and concise. Thank you!

Hi Austin, I just wanted to thank you for sharing all your stuffs, it's really generous !
Clément Leau I strongly agree with you on that Sir! not everyone like him would go the extra mile to teach anyone who wants to learn new things.
Last time I watched this video I had no recording equipment..Now I have 4 mics and interface and better drum gears like hat stands and cymbal stand it was a nice jump.Already said it on here but like Benny Greb says "If you repeat something you give it more value" So Awesome fucking channel your new studio is awesome.

This is probably one of the best channels on youtube
"A fucking room to record in" you got my sub just for that
Finally! This is the most thorough list I’ve found so far. Thanks!!

Can you record your drum set directly to your DAW via a 16 input Soundcraft mixer?
Thanks!
Thank you for all the infos! I'll just have to upgrade everything :)

Awesome video. Exactly what i was searching for! Totally subbed ;-)
Hey Austin! Love your channel and really enjoyed this video.
If you have a moment to spare, I was curious... Is your sound-proofed room in the garage air conditioned? And, did you build the room yourself?
Yea there's an air conditioner in the corner. You can see it in some of my videos... as for the room, my former roommate actually paid a construction guy to come in and build the room so we could use it to rehearse because we were all in a band at that time.

I'm extremely lucky to have it now and I'm grateful to my old roomie for spending the money to do that, but that's the story of the room!
Helpful videos bro , Im just starting to do drum covers ... would you be able to make a video on how to remove drums from a song or lower as much as possible?
Love your video's ! what is the make and model of your audio rack with the nice wood surface?
Hi Austin, can you tell me what kind of camera(s) you use when you record? Also, what software do you use to produce your videos? They're great, as is your playing! Thanks

I went with the USB Stick 32 gigs instead of the SSD hard drive just for now. When you can afford the SSD setup then go with it.
