I have a three piece math/pop/metal band with drums, casio keyboard and electric guitar. we sound like a cross between the beatles and the melvins. please help me come up with a recording scheme based on the equiptment i have.
Im going to be recording into a Tascam TRS-8 through a 16 channel A/H mixer. i will probobly record about 6 tracks of drums and leave the rest for other insturments. I will at least use a mic on snare (M201) on kick (D112) two overheads (AT4040s) an SM57 on tom and a MD421 on floor tom. i will record guitar through a Mesa/boogie rocket 44 combo with med/high gain and lots of bass. I am thinking of using a royer R121 on it. or should i use the royer on kick and use the D112 on guitar??? (i do like bass) i will probobly record the keyboard direct unless we get a really good bass amp.
i have two outboard signal processors a DBX 166 and a DBX 266.
what is most important to compress?
please tell me if i am making any terrible mistakes.
