overheads. though the pre will only help if you have great mics and a solid sounding room. |

1. What pre's DO you have. 2. What mics do you have? 3. What Compressors do you have? 4. What exactly is the space you are recording in like? 5. DRUMS! What kind and can you tune? |

if you have a bad sounding room it really doesn't matter what you use. and in a lot of cases, it might be better to use something crap then to capture that bad sounding room in all it's glorious badness with great mics and pres. |

As someone who has spent more time than they'd like in a variety of terrible sounding acoustic spaces with both prosumer and high end mic pres, this comment has been in direct contrast with my experience. In general, I've found that bad pres in a bad space will make things worse, whereas good pres in a bad space will at least not add more bad to the mess. |
