Thread Starter | 2 good converters, do i use them for kick and snare or overheads? I am in the process of probably getting an apogee rosetta 200 and the rest i will record out of a presonus firepod. When i go to record drums i've been wondering what would benefit me more. using the 2 good converters for recording the overheads on drums or using them for a nice Kick and snare sound. Isn't bad conversion more noticable in higher frequencies? my heart says kick and snare, my brain says overheads. help. thanks. jon. |

| +3 for overheads. cymbals show up the weaknesses in converters like nobody's business. gregoire del ubk .

 | i had some sort of brain aneurysm at a remote session recently and set my 2 good preamps to be kick and snare. i found myself pretty confused once the pot wore off and i realized they were both at 0db of gain with 10db a pad engaged. meanwhile my overheads were probably getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 20db... |

| You might aswell be better off tracking your entire kit through the same converter. Conversion latency in different converters is slightly different and if you put your OH's through a different one than the rest of the kit you might be introducing phase problems. Try to output a stereo track with the left side going through an Apogee and the right side through a RME and you'll see what I mean. |
