Hi all
I've been reading a lot of the threads on here and as you seem to be a helpful and enthusiastic bunch I thought I introduce myself and explain what I'm trying to do with my band.
My band plays metal, we've shelled out too much cash in the past on pro recordings which we've always been dissapointed with, so before we do that again, we'll be making our own "pre-production" CD. Who knows, it might even be good enough as a product (but I'm not holding my breath). We are:
Ali - Vocal (screamy/shouty a la Pantera)
Stu - Vocals (singy a la Life Of Agony)
Lee - Lead guitar
Tony (me) - Bass guitar
Rich - Drums
Tonight we're due to set up the drum kit at Rich's work after hours, and try to get some good sounding drum takes over the next couple of days. We will be using my BR1600CD which can record eight tracks at once, a cheap set of drum mics (4 x AKG D440's and an AKG 550), plus an assortment of live vocal mics which we'll try and use as overheads. Ah yes, and we have no stands
Before you panic, this is just the beginning. We have all the time in the world and I'm prepared to spend money where it's warrented. Mic stands are most definitely on the agenda.
