One of those projects is recording a drum kit using a dbx 676 mic preamp. Earlier this week Jason, the guy who asked me to do this project, was able to get a set of AKG drum mics for the studio. This is great because it was the main piece that was keeping me from starting on this. Last week we retrieved a drum kit from one of Harman&#8217;s warehouses and set it up in the studio, but unfortunately it was missing some pieces, including cymbals. Now that I had mics I decided to do a trial run of tracking the kit without the cymbals, just to make sure I knew all of the signal routing through the board, patch bay, and 676. What I discovered was only 2 of the 8 inputs into the board work. Apparently we have a faulty snake cable coming out of the wall panel into the board. This is a huge problem and has been another set back.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted Jason about this and explained that we need a lot of new cables for the studio in order for this to be done. I explained that I could still make a recording with an external 4 input audio interface, but that the studio needs these new cables if they want to be able to use it for these applications. Apparently this is a result of the studio being set up in a hurry when the building was built last year. They didn&#8217;t give too much thought to multi track recording or recording in general, and just put a board and some rack effects in there without routing the signals properly. They don&#8217;t use the studio for much recording anyways so it hasn&#8217;t really been a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Jason is going to talk to his superiors to see if the purchases can be made, and in the mean time I&#8217;ve been tweaking mic placements on the kit to get to know the mics that I have, and tuning and retuning the toms and snare to make sure I have the best tone when I finally have all the pieces I need to get this done. I&#8217;m a little frustrated because obstacles keep presenting themselves for this project, but at the same time I&#8217;m happy that the problems at work that I&#8217;m having are revolving around drums and audio recording, both things I greatly enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Also here are links to the DigiTech AMA thread, which I assisted in, and DigiTech&#8217;s soundcloud. 90% of the audio clips on the soundcloud are of me playing, and all of them were recorded and edited by me.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:316px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/IAmA\/comments\/3brz2d\/we_are_digitech_makers_of_guitar_pedals_and\/\">We are DigiTech, makers of guitar pedals and effects processors.
