Hi
My daughter (19yr) is in a struggling rock band who have asked me to help them make a CD for promotional use in our area (and maybe open a few doors further afield). They approached me because I know a fair bit about computers, but although I've read a bit on digital recording, I'm still very much in the dark.
Using my computer (1600+AMD, 256RAM, SBLive, 60Gb HD, 32x10x40xCDburner) as the main component, and doing most of the production with software, I need to know what hardware and software do I need to get the sound from the mics to the burnt CD?
The mics will be mostly SM57s, with probably a Rhode for the girl vocalist. Even if I record each person separately, I still need to record 6 - 8 tracks simultaneously when I record the drum kit.
I have access to a disbanded recording studio, with everything still in place except for all the electronic gear.
Thanks
