My drummer and I were talking about where we could live track other than his drum room, which is oddly enough well soundproofed to a certain extent, is far too small to get any good sound, especially on drums, which are getting cut all across the Frequency range, especially the mid range. I can get killer acoustic guitar sounds in that room, but the drums just get killed in the mix, and its just a headache.
So he threw the idea out of using his old highschools theatre/audtiorium to record in. I see some upsides to this, but also some downsides. To start I could at least give a little overview of the room. Its got a hardwood stage, concrete walls, the huge curtains which we could keep open or closed, and carpet as well as fabric chairs where the seating is. The room does seem to have some certain level of soundproofing close to the stage where a lot of the lighting is housed. I would guess the room is something like 65-70 feet Length, 45-50 Width, and Height would probably be about 30 feet, possibly taller, its a fairly large room when you pull open the curtain.
While my mouth is watering out the sound this room could produce on record if it turns out correctly, I do have some serious fears about leaving the safety of a soundproofed room, even if it just an undersized basement, and I am concered about how much of a "live" sound this room could give me.
Any thoughts?
