Hi,
Our band is ready to record a new CD of the latest songs we have written. We are essentially a gospel band, although our music crosses many styles and genres, including funk, rock and folk.
I use, for live work, my HART Pro 6.4 kit through a TD20 module. I also use many of the VExpression kits, and trigger accessories, which I really like. The sound engineer, who is going to work with us, is saying that he'd prefer me to use an acoustic kit because my kit is only a 'toy' and can only produce synthetic and not real sounds. He thinks it will give a less than professional and authentic sound and, in his words, give a sub-quality result, than he can provide by him having control of everything, mikes, settings, etc.
Does anyone with experience of this issue, have a view that will help and guide me and the band as to how we handle this. Does he have a good point - or is he just pre-judging, even misguided?
Many thanks
Mark
