Our band wants to record our jam sessions (nothing too professional sounding) just so we can remember and think about material afterwards. I have a pod line 6 ux 2 and use mixcraft as the software. We had one mic hanging from the ceiling plugged into mic 1 in the pod line 6 ux 2.
All in all the recording sucked a big one. The sound kept on getting maxed out and between the three of us (a bass, guitar, and drums) The bass and drums meshed together could barely hear the fuzzed out bass. the guitar would come in and out but really all one horrid meshed together blob noise. If one instrument played at a time the sound was alright but when we all played you could barely distinguish in the noise. Do I need a separate mic for each instrument (probably besides the drums)? or is the problem the recording volume on mix craft (it was a medium recording volume).
