Hey everyone!
So to get to the point right away, we have a band and a practice spot, which is about 270 sq ft (25m2). Instruments are a guitar, a bass and drums, with vocals and backing vocals.
I would love to record our jam sessions for song ideas. The gear we have is two condenser mics, and two dynamic ones. The dynamics are for vocals.
How would you suggest to set up the mics to capture everything, enough to get somewhat clear sounds? To work on songs later on.
I've been thinking about placing the condensers to the guitar and bass amps, but would that capture the drums as well?
Or should I try to place the mics around the room? If so, how?
Are these stupid ideas? I really don't have any experience on the matter, so any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
