Tell me about the tunning thing.
I'm ussually the one tuning thier drums.
I attended a drum tunning seminar (just a 3 hour class) and I still only have a vague idea of whats going on.
Alot of guitar players are the same way, have no idea how to intonate thier ax.
Just tracked drums for a 15 song cd last week.
The drummer came in with heads older than some of my underpants.
I just put the mics up and did the best I could.
It would have taken hours to re head and tune them, thats when they run out of coin.
To all the responces that suggest quantizing the drums...
I thought he said a live band?
If you quantize the drums, it won't be on with the band.
Once again, quantizing drums takes some time, I would estimate about 1-2 hours per track.
