...is surprisingly easy. My last band made a right meal of it - in fact, they're still trying to get it done two years later. My current band started about 7 months ago, and while we'd started recording the odd track there were a few problems. We decided to start again from scratch almost two weeks ago, and we're over half way through the recording process.
OK, so we're cheating a little (electronic drums + samples, and everything else is going through my Eleven Rack), but it amazes me that people treat it as something that's so damn difficult. If you just don't make it out to be a big challenge and just get on with it, it's suddenly very easy. I mean...we've broken the back of it, and we're fitting it around jobs, gigs and even a wedding.
That is all.

First Tacoma album took about 3 months to record everything. The last album took 2 months to record. This doesn't include editing and mixing though.
It takes a long time to get pro results imho.
I managed to get away without using any triggering on the last Tacoma album. A few samples were used, but they were samples we took during the sessions - just to cap off fills with a tom hit that wasn't washed all in cymbals for example.
