I've been working to my ep (5 songs) since last November and now it is the moment to record; so, here I am.
The ep is above all an acoustic one, just guitar and voice, except for two songs, where there are an electric solo and a cello.
I need to produce my work, 'cause i need to express my music and my lyrics, but I haven't got money, at all, but I've lots of friends and they believe in me, in my work, in my ideas, so they gave to me some stuff to record.
I know that to record an acoustic guitar I would need a mic, but I haven't got it, I've just an external audio device (guitar link ucg102, Behringer) and I'll use it to record my acoustic. I'll lose a little tone, but this is the best compromise.
Then, I've downloaded Reaper and it seems have all what I need.
Summing up:
1. I have to record al my acoustic themes and I think I can do It with the external audio device and with reaper.
- It is better to set treble, middle and bass after or before the rec? I can do it trough the pre-amp of my guitar.
- Have I to modify with effects my recording?
2. I have to record my voice and I haven't a mic, so i have to find a friend with a good one (I hope) xD
3. I don't think that an electrified cello exists, so can i use the hypothetical (xD) mic for voice to record it?
4. Reaper is a good to mix instruments and voices?
Do i need to know something more?
Thank you for your help and excuse for the grammatical mistakes
