Hi all!
so, i have a band, and we want to start making a few decente recordings to show and promote. Doesn't have to be studio quality and anyway we don't have the budget for that.
So i've been figuring out ways to home-record us and have some measure of control in post. The band is 4 instruments: Piano, Voice, Guitar, and Percussion (light, a Flamenco cajón, basically a wooden box).
Do you think this setup would work?:
1 - digital Piano connects connects to DAW through MIDI cable
2 - Acoustic amplified guitar to amplifier and from amp to DAW (with some cable... possible?)
3 - the voice recorded with a Cardioid mic through sound interface to DAW
4 - percussion recorded with dynamic mic, through sound interface to DAW.
All 4 musicians would have headphones, so they get the 4 instruments in real time.
Although i think i can isolate the sound captured from the cardioid mic, i don't know if a couple of acoustic improvised barriers (maybe placing the percussion in a separate adjoining room) would allow me to get 4 clean independent tracks that i could post process a bit... or if this whole system i'm proposing would work at all...
people who have had similar experiences, could you please be so kind to drop a comment on this possible set-up? I'm a well rounded musician, but have close to zero experience with recording, so i'd really appreciate some input here! thanks!!
