Hi All,
I have to record my guitar tracks for an album. My first time doing it. We recorded a demo playing live before but this time we have to record individually (my drummer is not in the same country anymore).
Here is what I have available:
I have 2 audio interface: RME Babyface and Focusrite Scarlet 18i20 (that we used for the demo). I read somewhere I should use the RME over Focusrite, any opinion on that?
My laptop:
8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3L Memory
500GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
i5-5200U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz)
(i was thinking of maybe upgrading my ram and/or put a SSD hard drive but might be overkill just to record one track at a time?)
I have a bunch of mics I could choose from (3 shure sm57, 1 audix i5, 1 audix F6 and 1 audix F5). I think sm57 is a standard to record guitar? I read somewhere I should use two mics ? If so which other one... the F6?
Here is a picture of how the room is :
So what do you think of my setup? Should I change something? There is also a music store close by i could rend stuff for recording, anything that could make a big difference?
Thank you!
