Hello. I'm new here.
I'm in a 2 man hardcore punk rock "band" and it's time to make a demo and look for a guitar player. First things first - good DIY drum recording...
Okay - here's what I have to work with:
(1) Yamaha MT 400 4-Track recorder
(1) 8 channel Behringer Mixer
(2) Shure 57s
(3) Audio Technica ST90s
(1) CAD NDM11 kick drum mic
(2) CAD NDM10 tom mics
(1) semi-decent drum set
(1) fast handed hardcore punk rock drummer
Were going to record drums and the basic guitar track live at the same time, then do overdubs of second guitar, bass, vocals. So, fellow DIY rock-n-rollers, please spill your knowledge this way!
Going for the best demo quality we can get, but we're not out for that Bob Rock sound or anything. AKA: We have a 4-Track recorder and we can't afford any effects processors or whatever. We're keepin' it RAW (if we like it or not).
Any experienced basement studio wizards that can offer any tidbits of wisdom will be regarded as heroes. Mic placement, mixing tips, anything will help.
Thank you.
Hey - this was easier than I thought. I may have stumbled on to the first useful aspect of the internet here! Aside from porn, that
