So my band have asked me to do a demo recording... the only thing I have no experience with is recording drums, mainly as for my own projects I have a Yamaha DT eXpress iv which I use as trigger for EZ Drummer.
Now I suggested that our drummer could use this as it would be much easier to record, but he uses a bigger kit and wants to try a real recording, he has all the mics but really I don't know where to start! 2 OH + Bass and Snare mics...?
Also how to make the recording is vexing me a little, should we play to a click then re-record the parts or just do it live (issue here is I only have 8 tracks available at once..)
Any suggestions welcome, especially if you have a sure fire method
Will be recording via Zoom R24 into reaper
Comments
Just FYI: The R24 only has phantom power on two inputs so check what mics the drummer has!
Might need a spook juice PSU or a loan of a small mixer.
