SOUNDCHECK LOOP - 16 BARS - LARNELL LEWIS

Hey Y'all!! Working things out! Slowly but surely! I’ve been really enjoying the journey of recording and learning about audio engineering. I used to be really hesitant about tryin to record even though I really, really wanted to. I thought “I don’t have the right space”. “I don’t have the right mics”. “I’m using *insert DAW here* and it’s not industry standard”, and the list goes on! When I started out, I would bring my $250 mic pack to gigs and record @joylappsmusic trio gigs (Steelpan, Bass, 6 lines of drums) with my Motu 8 pre and work on mixing the show when I got home. I didn’t have a space to play drums at the time (2009), so I worked with what I had. Fast forward to today: I can play drums at Home, I have gear that I sounds great and I digging into, and I love reading and watching anything on audio engineering! #Recording #HomeStudio #DrumTracking Questions for y’all… - Any tips for mixing Drums? - Favourite Plugins? Recommendations for “must haves” in the box? - Preferred DAW? - Favourite Mic(s)? Any recommendations? - Do you use outboard gear? Any recommendation? - Do you mix on headphones, or monitors exclusively? - Favourite pair of headphones? - Favourite album to listen to for the mix (Not popular! Your favourite go-to)? - Check out any books or articles on mixing and engineering that have helped you along the way? I’m here to learn, so share what you can! 🙏🏿 S/O to my live sound and recording engineer friends for being open to sharing info with me! @johnbeetlebailey @georgeseara #juliandecorte @jeremy_darby @canterburymusicco @audioticjill @magiwally @jukasamediagroup @sspmusicgrp @ojwill @jujuwie @elmerferrermusic @saintclarens @eddiebullen @mikeharrisonsound @nic.hard @fabdupont @victorguidera @ryan_haft @mattyrexx @gregwahengineering @arsterling @ojdaudiovisual @justingraysound @marito_marques @ben.wittman.73 @thomaslangdrum @officialdaveweckl
