Drum Miking with 002 and PTLE
Hello, I currently have an M-box and I am considering upgrading to a 002 system. I am a drummer. I have a fairly large drum kit that I would like to mike up. PTLE will record up to 18 tracks simultaniously. The 002 system only has 4 mike inputs. What are my other options (if any) of recording 9 mikes for my drums at the same time while having individual control over each mike on PTLE. Is there a console or patchbay that will work with a 002 system?

Re: Drum Miking with 002 and PTLE
The simplest thing to do is the get the 002Rack and a Presonus Digimax LT. Together, they'll provide 12 mic inputs, and you'll still have 4 more line inputs available, and two more on S/PDIF.

i'd also recommend spending some for good mics. that's another story though, so i leave it out here. i just point out that the drum kit is a kit and should be treated as a whole, and not as a sum of all parts. if the kit sounds good with only overheads, then you can get a good overall sound, but if it sucks, or if overheads only capture cymbals, i would guess you're in a big trouble in mixing. in my opinion you cannot spend too much money for overhead mics, but then again, the most expensive mic is not necessarily the best mic for everything. experience comes from experimenting different mics, not from listening to me

Re: Drum Miking with 002 and PTLE
I agree. Thanks for advice. I get a good sound with 2 overheads with a seperate bass drum and snare mic. I compensate (using an m-box) by recording the entire kit with overheads then go back and mix in a sampled kick/snare with the overhead tracks. I only mix in enough to bring more impact. It gets tricky with major tom/snare fills but I usually leave the fills alone with no sampled support. I'm actually doing most of my recording in LOGIC these day...my Mbox works great. The 002 works well also with Logic. I'm using PT for mainly editing the bounced tracks before I send it off to mastering.
