During this spring break me and my band want to record now that we have good mics, and mics for the drums specifically. The main problem I've had with recording, however, is that I cannot get my recordings to sound anywhere near professional, or anything more than, amatuer/punk sounding.
Anyways, I just need some hints or tips or whatnot regarding where I should mike the instruments (placement), mix tracks, where to pan them out (especially multiple guitars and solos, and vocals), how to equalize them properly, and how much reverb and compression to master the final product with. Anything to make it sound like something people would pay money for heh.
The best sounding song I'd say I've recorded is here, www.myspace.com/ericandthegenerics - Only bother listening to "Brother's War" and "Power Supply". I'd appreciate any constructive criticism for these songs, and don't bother telling me about any bad, yelling/screaming type vocals - that's already taken care of, and on Power Supply I messed around with some vocal distortion effect on the Fostex so yea its kinda funky. Any advice or examples of how you record is appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
