Seeker of Rock
The One and Only
I've been playing with this church jazz band once a week for shits and giggles. They don't usually play at services or anything, just special events: Jazzy, dixieland, and blues originals with "inspirational" lyrics mostly and they're not really fanatic about the religious side of things which is good because neither am I. The jazz and dixielandish styles are new to me and makes it fun.
We are recording a few of the songs today. A few of them are not open to new experiences, so instead of coming to my home studio tracking/mixing room to track things out a few people at a time, we decided to record live so the ones with no studio experience feel comfortable. Since my personal setup is all hard-racked and not very mobile, we are tracking to a Boss BR1600 with a soundcraft submixer (for the drums). I set up the gobos, mics and levels last night and we'll start around noon. The church has pretty decent acoustics, but no isolation whatsoever and I only have four gobos. This should be interesting.
Has anyone here recorded multitracks live in a room with a lot of reflection? How did it turn out? I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of track bleed but will do my best to get as much isolation as I can. It should be a fun learning experience for me, too, since I'm doing the all of the "engineering." If it's not too embarrassing, I'll post some clips in the next couple of weeks.
