I mean I know I CAN use it....but would even be worth it sound wise.
Here's my situation.
I only have a limited number of mics.
RE20 (kick)
Sm57 (snare)
E200 (overhead in fig 8 maybe)
Ecm8000 (originally going for OH but the room is SMALL)
NT3
P45i (peavy sm58-ish)
and a couple of crappy RS mics
I have a Penta, a 286a, Audiobuddy, and Art MP for preamps.
I have a 424MK II 4 track and a VS880 8 track.
Both of these record only up to 4 tracks simultaneously.
I wanted to record my friends band and was thinking about a 3 mic drum kit set up and bass on the first pass and then overdubbing the guitar and vocal(s).
Its just rehersal demos.
I was considering the following plan.
Overhead > E200 fig8 > Focusrite > trk1
Kick >RE20 > 286a > trk2
Snare > SM57 > Audiobuddy > trk 3
Bass > DI from line out of Ampeg bass head > trk4
I had considered recording these 4 tracks to the 424 and then sending the stereo mix of the drum tracks through the Penta's comprssor to tracks 1 and 2 of the 880, to kind of gel them together....if neccessary.
Then I could use the direct Tape Outs of the 424 to run the bass track and a doubled snare or kick to tracks 3 and 4 of the 880.
And then overdub directly to the 880 for the guitar and vox.
Any thoughts.............
