Advice on setting up
Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2018 12:51 pm
Hi!
Received my Aerodrums yesterday but am struggling a bit trying to setup everything perfectly. So I have a few questions I hope to find an answer to:
1. What's the best relative position and angle between the camera and the drummer's seat? My interpretation of the instructions is that the camera is supposed to be about 20 cm to the right from the drummers point of view. Then I have to turn the camera in order for the drummer's seat to match the drawing in the setup screen. Is that correct?
2. If the above is correct, am I supposed to look straight ahead and not turn to the direction of the camera?
3. How should I interpret the markings of the pedals? If I don't turn to the angle of the camera the marking of the left foot is much smaller than the right. And something I find quite odd is that if I move my feet forward, the markings move backward. And also, I have to put my feet much closer to the camera in order for the "velocity indicators" (the grey shading that covers a small area when playing softly and a large area when playing hard) to show. What should the correct behaviour of the markers and these indicators be, in relation to my feet's movements?
4. Is there a recommended seat height? I'm using a TAMA standard drummer's seat adjusted to a height of 46 cm (18").
Although I haven't got it working properly yet I am very hopeful and I think that after more experimenting with angles, distance, heights and more I'll be able to experience the same degree of exactness the videos give an example of. Maybe with clarification regarding the matters raised above, I'll reach that point more quickly.
Thanks in advance!
