Thanks SB,

I might need to PM you once I get in the studio space and start miking the kits.

So far then, I have the space, I have a mixing desk - at least good enough in the beginning. I have the mikes, I have the leads and the stands.

Is anything missing?

I'm still not sure what processing may need to take place during tracking. I'm hoping not very much, in fact - nothing.

I'll be doing the processing during the mix, ITB.

I can't recall if engineers like to compress and gate drums during recording, my common sense says this is probably a bad idea...maybe a small amount of compression on the kick and snare? 2:1 / 3:1?
