Home Studio?????? Help?
Okay heres the deal.
I want to set up a little something in my room to record my drums and wanted to get your input on if the setup i am going to purchase is okay or do i need to change things.
1. I already have a new macbook pro with 4 gb ram so that is not an option.
2. i was going to buy this mixer-Behringer Xenyx 1202 (here it is if you dont know what it looks like) http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringer-Xe%E2%80%A6
3 these mics-CAD PRO-7 7-Piece Drum Microphone Pack.....http://www.guitarcenter.com/CAD-PRO-7-7-%E2%80%A6
4. enough xlr cables and xlr to 1/4 inch, boom stands and small stand for bass drum.
i has planing on using garageband on hoping to keep the cost down.
oh ya i wont be using one of the tom mics on account i only have 2 toms.
so how does it look. i have got my mics, stands cables that would go into a mixer and that into my laptop.
anything i am missing? is there an easer way to do it?
Thanks

2 AnswersMusic & Music Players1 decade agoDrum Cover Question?
Okay here is the deal, i just invested in a new macbook pro ( which i must say is the best investment you could make) and needed help making drum covers for youtube and such. i have the video recorded and in imovie ready to go and i have the song in itunes and i have my recorded drums in garageband now how do i get both the song from itunes and the drums i recorded onto imovie? as far as i can find i can only have one(like i can only have the video and the song or only the video and my recorded drums), any help would be nice. i have all the ingredients and i just dont know how to get them all in the same dish. thanks
2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoRecording drums/what equipment ??
i am going to record drums.
i am a little lost though this is what i know i want to have a good condenser and a bass mic.
as for mixer i am getting the Behringer xenyx 802. it has 2 mic inputs.
fist question, what mics would you recommend if possible under $100 for each.
what FREE software would you recommend for recording?
are there any tricks for cheap recording like could i use a mic i already have(its a vocal mic) for my bass drum.
thanks
and im not looking for amazing recording just enough for a high school garage band recording.

3 AnswersPerforming Arts1 decade agoWhich dslr?????????????
i have been a nikon person since a young kid, because thats what my dad always used. Now that im older and cant keep muching off of his equipment i have to make a decision now. nikon or canon. there are pros and cons to both some being that if i stayed with nikon my dad assured me that i could "borrow" any of his high end 20 or so lenses.
The bad is that a digital nikon is going to cost me a arm and leg to get, even used(about $400) I was looking at the D50 or something cheap that has the autofocus motor, not like the crappy D40.:((
SO here are my questions: what do you think i should do, please give photography history
if canon please give example of good starter digital camera( it does not matter if it is discontinued) because i am very unfamiliar with canons line up other than the high end stuff.
and i own a mac if it helps i heard canons are much easer to use with macs....idk.
right now im using a D70 or D300 when my dad does not need it and they are wonderful cameras, i dont need wonderful i will be happy with anything as long as i have enough left over to by some decent glass;)
or just give input on either nikon or canon (dont tell me sony or olympus cuz i wont listen)
10points to best

2 AnswersPerforming Arts1 decade agoRear of 2001 toyota corolla?
My corolla keeps on bottoming out, tires hitting wheel well. It only on the rear. I have had the struts replaced but it's still doing it. What's up? I have taken it to several shops and they said the stuts are bad but there only 6 months old. Others say that the last owner replaced the tires with bigger ones and there too big for the car. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?
