Do you agree?

Do you agree?

2003-08-08 by narrowgatedrummer

Hey guys,
Just wondering if you think that the reverb presets on the kits, and 
sounds are a bit too much?

Im planning on recording drums on a song that has gone from SC, to 
Fla. to me and then back to SC. 

I havent tried it yet but from just hearing the kit through head 
phones and a pa, just seems too extreme.
Has anyone tried recording without changing a thing?
If so..is there a same on the site here?

Thanks,
Wm

Wm,

There are a bunch of recordings in the "Files" section of this site. 
Some of them go back to 1999 or 2000, when the DTXpressI.1 was 
current. If you like any of them, you could post public questions 
here to the authors, or email them offline, about how they set up the 
sound. To me the degree of reverb, and the kind, depend on  
application. In my years fooling around with this unit, I've never 
been able to come up with a rule of thumb, or necessarily a favorite 
reverb setting. Everything seems to fly on its own terms.

Wm:
Whenever I record with the DTX, turn the reverb for the individual 
voice and for the kit itself to '0'. The engineer can always add 
reverb a lot easier than he can take it away.
