Re: Drumset Recording Levels
I would say the only regular guideline is to always leave some headroom, 6-8dB below fullscale is pretty safe.
The drummer I regularly record always hits the snare and bass drum harder during the take(s) than he does when setting levels. Or he hits everything harder!
A fast compressor (and I mean fast) can be a real help on your snare before protools inputs.
