I have a question. Whenever my band records, we always mic everything, run it into a mixer, and run that into a cassette recorder, and play the song live. This technique works, but if I mess up the levels, We have to record the whole thing over. Now, my question. Everywhere I've read about track by track recording, it says record the drums first. For some reason, they make it sound so easy. But it seems kind of hard to record the drums without being able to follow anything. Could anyone clear this up for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe not. I want it so I can adjust the levels on the recording after laying down all the tracks, rather than having to record the entire band playing again.
Thanks
