I've been asked to record a 4 piece band in my home studio in a few days time. There's a drummer/ vocalist, bass guitar player, rhythm/ lead guitar player & a keyboard player.
I'm recording with my Mackie mixing desk through a computer using Sonar 3. I also have a good PA system in the live room. Since the multi-core in the live room needs repaired (with loose connections in some ports), at the moment, I'm limited to using 3 to 4 mics. I have a Rhodes NT-2 (phantom power), 4 Sennheisser e835's, a Sennheiser e602 (bass drum mic), a Shure Sm58 & Sm57.
The band want the recording to be as good as possible so they can hear how they' re sounding for an upcoming gig. I've no experience of recording a live band, so does anyone know the best way to mic everything up to get a good level on every instrument?
Your help would be really appreciated.
