I'm recording a jam session, and really would like the best results possible.
There will be four amplified sources: Two guitars, organ, and bass, and several drum sources: Congas, bongos, found percussion, trap set, etc.
The equipment:
MICS: 5 SM57s, 1 SM58, 2 small diaphragm condensors, and a smattering of 57 and 58 copies.
BOARD: 12 channel Yamaha Powered Mixer. (I know, but beggars can't be choosers.) This machine has global graphic EQ, but only sweep/boost pots for LOW and HIGH on each channel.
DECK: Roland VS880. Four simlutaneous inputs. Fully editable perchannel EQ. COSM Microphone Modeling.
The plan is to get the best board mix possible, stick it into two of the Roland inputs, and record it onto tracks 1-4. If I'm happy there, I'd like to use the condesnsors to capture the room and send them via some subtle digital reverb into the other two VS880 inputs. I would eventually route the to tracks 5-8.
What do you think? Any EQ suggestions? Is the condesor plan worth it? Room set up hints?
