So this weekend I started helping a friend of mine record his bands demo up at their cabin. Had OK results considering the circumstances.
The space is small... I'd estimate about 15'/20' x 30'/35'. One of the longer sides has two rooms attached to it. A very small kitchen at one end and a very small sitting area at the other. the ceilings are very tall and come to a point, with a loft suspended over the kitchen/sitting room. I know the description isn't the best, but it'll do.
As far as my equipment is concerned....
I am running through a macbook pro with an M-Audio Fast track interface that I borrowed from a friend... only 8 mic inputs.
-4 SM57's
-1 Beta 52a
-1 Blue Spark (cardioid condenser, side address)
-2 Cheaper Shure microphones that somewhat resemble SM58's
-AND last but not least... a 500$ budget
The band consists of..
-1 singer/electric acoustic guitar (2 separate amps)
-1 electric Lead guitar
-1 drummer (full kit)
-1 bass
-there are also random percussionists and a tuba player occasionally, but i wouldn't worry about that right now
The lead guitarist kind of runs the band, and he is really looking for the most natural sound possible. they play a lot of 60's-esque psychedelic music
