Hi forum, this is my first attempt at recording

[dubsnack]

Hi forum. I've been a lurker for a little while but this is my first post. I'm a drummer and my band is having our first attempt at recording some demos. The bassist owns a Digidesign and Pro Tools rig that we're using. So far we've recorded my drums and his basslines. Here's a couple pics of the mic setup we used on the drums. He did a direct in for the bass.

We're new... We're poor... etc.

Shure SM57 on the snare, AKG D112 on the kick, POS Nady kick mic on the floor toms, and a POS noname vocal mic overhead on the cymbals and rack tom.

Suggestions, comments, ridicule?

why are you recording bass and drums first?....and why the fuck aren't you using two overheads? ...any sound samples?

erm, this thread is almost a year old and was with a band that never came to be. Yuck, I still had those B8s in there too!

but more importantly, because I still used essentially the same process in the latest recording I did, why wouldn't I want bass and drums first?
