Hey, I'm completely new to recording and would like some advice on recording my metal band.
We are looking to record, and as we want to spend a fair amount, we don't want to spend it on a one-off recording session at a professional studio.
We need to
The gear that we have at the moment is a Line6 Pod2.0, a Line6 Spider2 amp, a Warwick bass amp with D/I, a Shure SM58, a set of Sennheiser HD-555 and a really good PC.
I was looking at getting a Digidesign 002R, 2 SM57's, 2 more sets of headphones, a vocal mic and two condenser mics.
Now for the questions!
Is there anything immediately wrong with this setup?
Do we need a headphone amp?
What vocal mic should we get?
How should we record? Bass guitar, guitar and drums then overdub vocals and lead?
Which condensers are cheap and good for overheads?
(Anything else I haven't mentioned please tell me, oh and we have a good room to record in)
Oh, and our budget is $2000 or less...
Cheers in advance.
