Hey,
I have a gig coming up (March 19th) and was hoping to record it. We are a 13 piece band:
4 Vocals
Guitar
Bass
Drums
Keyboard 1
Keyboard 2
Trumpet
Alto
Tenor
Trombone
Bari Sax
The room isn't very huge and I'm new to recording so I was wondering if anyone has any tips, or do's and don'ts.
So far what we're thinking is daisy-chaining 2 Firestudio Projects/Tubes together and having those go into a laptop. Then we were thinking we'd mic everyone and plug each person into one of the XMAX preamps on the Firestudios.
We're trying to figure out if we should get DI boxes for the bass and 2 keyboards, or if we should mic their amps. Also for the vocals, should we run them into a mixer then take each line out and record them separately?
Hopefully I didn't miss anything. If anyone has any information at all, that would be a great help. Thanks very much.
