Hey all,
I was just wondering if it would be appropriate to, after tracking everything, play the song mixed (or partially) loud-ish through monitors and record that through a room mic placement. This would be in order to get the sound of the room I wanted.
My main issue is that I'd be recording a full band on as small a budget as I can manage, so inputs will be limited (looking to buy a new interface which would leave me with 8 xlr inputs and 2 1/4" inputs in total) and after micing guitars, bass and drums (going for a 4 mic technique on drums) I might not have space.
I know of the technique where you record a guitar DI then run it through the amp and record it as if tracking through the amp, so I guess this follows the same principle, but with a room mic. It might have been covered before but I'm not sure.
Thanks!
