I am looking to record a couple tracks for a demo and wanted to get your all's advice.
Instrumentation is trap set, tuba,trombone,accordion. Vocals and maybe some acoustic guitar will be overdubbed later. Mixing will be done by a pro.
Our room is about 18' square and well dampened. My idea is a pair of Rode NT5s with the omni-directional capsules in the middle of the room, about 12" apart with a pillow between them. Hopefully this gets us close. In addition I will have directs from the accordion, an SM58 suspended in the bell of the tuba, an akg c1000 for the trombone, a generic kick drum mic, sm57 on the snares and each tom, and AT Pro37s for the drum overheads.
Audio interface is a Tascam 16x08 and I will use Reaper or Sonic. Again the idea is just to get good tracks, someone more experienced with better gear will help me mix and master.
Our sound is loose and interactive, here is a video from the last show:
Can you folks critique my plan? I do not have access to a lot of gear. Also links to previous posts that are relevant would be much appreciated. THanks!
