New here. I'm sure there has been a thread about this already, but I can't find one. I'm coming back to home recording after many years. Last experience was with a Tascam portastudio 4 track to cassette. Now I'm set up to record to my computer (Xenyx Mixer - Soundcard - Reaper). I know the soundcard (SB-Live) is probably not the best way to go, but no $$ to spend right now.
Here is my question. Do any of you have a favorite sequence for tracking if you can only bring in one instrument at a time? My stuff is basic bass, drums, guitars, sometimes keyboard, occasional tenor sax or harmonica, usually vocals, sometimes not. I know it may be near impossible to capture a "live" feeling when tracking one instrument at a time, but I'm wondering whether anybody has ideas on how to get close.
Appreciate any thoughts,
J
