I would like to ask for your help i'm sorta new to recording and stuff but i've read up on alot of stuff and this is my second try with my own stuff this time
I'm planning on making some demos of songs that are in the works for my band first i'll tell you what i have OK i have a behringer Pa head the Pmx200 something with like 10 channels and 99 digital effects we have a bass amp and 2 half stacks and a drumkit we have about 8 mics 1 sm57, 1 condenser and 8 others this is our plan of action
we will mic the drums with about 4 mics 2 over heads on the left and right parts of the drums 1 on the kick and one on the hihat/snare we are going to go line out with all our amps and get some dI boxes and run them into the pa head along with the drum mics 2 other mics are for vocals we are running the stuff thats going into the pa head into the line out of my computer i'm recording with cool edit pro 2.0, i'm pretty familiar with it now the dilemma
we cant and wont record separate tracks on the computer (by this i mean we won't have just the drummer cut his track by himself or record the guitar separately) we are planning to mix all the stuff on the pa head then send it in to record...this means cutting all tracks at once...like live....but on cool pro it will only represent the sound as one track....this means i can't edit just the guitar or just the vocals etc....
what can i do and will this work...?
now b4 you respond to this, i would like plans of action that i could take with what i have or that would cost in the 200 dollar direction total.....i know garbage in garbage out.....but right now garbage is better than nothing
thanks for your help
