Ok, here we go...........I recorded a little five song demo for a band that I know and here is what I had to work with.
1 peavey small condenser mic
1 AKG D112
1 shitty handheld AKG mic
1 wireless shure mic (58 i think)
Tascam DP-01 (only 2 channels to record with)
heres how I hooked stuff up
for the drums I used the d112 for bass drum obviously and that went straight to the pre amp on the DP-01
then i used the small condenser and the shitty handheld AKG for the toms and to pick up the cymbals, and the wireless for the snare, all of these are ran into a powered mixer to use the pre amps and then i use the Rec out of the mixer to go into the DP-01.
I know this is quite the shitty set up but its all I got and i feel i got a decent sound out of it.
for the guitars I used the small condeser close miced, bass i miced it with the D112 and i thought it sounded pretty cool.
I was jsut wondering if anyone had any comments and suggestions because I'm pretty new with this.
The room we recorded in was pretty shitty sounding
I mixed everything in Cakewalk Home Studio with free plugins and you'll probably notice that hte song is pretty squished as the band wanted it loud go figure
any comments are greatly appreciated
