What's up... my bands recording

[matstars]

What's going on ... I'm the bassist for The Anubis http://www.theanubis.com

we have recently tried home recording with...

PC:
Acid
Soundforge
Fruityloops - for drum generation

Hardware:
MRS-4 Digital 4 Track
and we have 4 SHURE SM57 mics

our first attempt didn't come out as we had hoped...

for now we dont really have a spot to record the drums, so we're generating the drums. Any tips/pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Getting good recordings isn't an easy process. It takes as much practice and skill as learning an instrument like guitar or piano, for example. Just keep working at it.

When you first started playing bass, you probably weren't very good. And getting better was likely a much more complex process than hopping on some internet board and saying: "I suck at bass. What gives? Why can't I just pick this thing up and play like Billy Sheehan?"

Recording isn't much different.
