So I'm going to be recording a demo for my band this weekend and I have a decent amount of at home recording experience but I have to decided I want to go a little further with this session and treat it a bit more seriously compared to my previous recordings. So I have two options for recording rooms in my house and I wanted some opinions.
1. The basement. Drums in the middle of the room and rugs on the floor with concrete elsewhere. The ceiling is about 8 feet tall or so. Basically it's a relatively dead room in comparison to my second option. There is also some added background noise of the heater
2. The pool table room. Tile floors. Probably about 1.5 or 2 times the footprint of the main basement area I'd be playing in otherwise. Ceilings are about the same height as the basement. oddly i think they're 7.5 feet tall. I would obviously put down some area rugs and possibly a few other things to deaden the sound a bit. Also the benefit of less background noise.
Any help would be great thanks.
