Drum samples.
Is there anyone making their own drum samples? I am making my own by recording the sound of each drum, each cymbal, each rim shot, hi hats open, closed, each shaker (I have lots of them), each cowbell, rattler, soon to be also a Cabasa, and all the notes on the glockenspiel as well as the double-row chimes. Once done with recording, I'll go through and do all the editing and all that other fun stuff that the samples need. This is gonna be a fun project to do. It's an 8 piece set of DW Concept Maple with all new Evans heads along with a 9 piece set of Zildjian Avedis cymbals and other various percussion instruments. Any suggestions on how to make dis happen? Should I bake in the panning information for each track or should I leave them in mono? What would you do? I'd love to hear your opinion. 🤠

@Jason Flaherty For my kick I am using the Shure Beta 91A Condenser Boundary Microphone inside the kick sitting on a blanket, a Shure PGA52 in the hole of the head and then the DW The Moon Mic almost on the head. SM57s, top and bottom of the snare, SM57s top and bottom of the hi-hat, Shure PGA56s on the toms, and Shure PGA81s for overheads. (No, I am not sponsored by Shure. LOL)

Recording weird things.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever recorded? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Lol 🤣. Mine was flies buzzing around a dog turd. It was for background sound effects at a Halloween party.

So...I owned an Ensoniq esq-1 sampler and back in the day, I was in a Pink Floyd cover band (1990s did not have tribute bands LOL) We were working on "the Wall" album and we did not sequence or backing tracks so I recorded (sampled) things like "look mummy, there's an airplane up in the sky" and put it on a sound floppy disk so all I would have to do was press a certain key and it would play back that track. I still own that keyboard, LOL Fun Stuff.

ELECTION DAZE
Welcome to decision 2024– It’s Election Day in the United States! Music plays an important part in elections, such as at rallies and to introduce candidates to the voting public. Modern presidents have even shared their playlists and instrument skills! Mindful of our global community — this question is for everyone for whatever country in which you cast your ballot. Do you listen to anything in particular musicwise to pump you up to vote? Or on the other hand—perhaps something musical is calming or even a distraction? Maybe silence is your jam? Do you have any stories or traditions tying music and elections together? Please share thoughts, ideas, input and perspectives!

Me and my band have a song that we released. It was suggested to Donald Trump for his entrance song but it was not done in time for him to use it. LOL. Any PR is good PR, right? LOL

Remix challenge
Is anyone doing the remix challenge with Mastering.com and Madrecords.com and Christana Alaire's Roses song? I am working on it, did a reel on Instagram, per instructions, and tagged everyone, per instructions. Instagram has flagged it as a copyright infringement issue and wants me to delete. What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? Side note, Christana had liked it after if was tagged so not sure how that worked. Lol Any suggestions?

@J Es i guess I am confused with what was asked of us to do then. I thought we were to take the stems and remix them, hence the name remix. I guess I am totally way off here.

@Andreas Koegel did you redo the mix of the stems or did you remake the song?

When you spring clean, what do you do with your stuff? Goes into storage? Every rehearsal, I record. We always mess around with a cover tune to warm up or something new so we have a copy of it. One of the guys made a joke to look back at these years from now and call it "The Garage Days." LOL I realty need to do some cleaning on my studio computer but I am just going to put it all on an external drive and save it. LOL
