I'm planning on cutting some rough basement demos of a band that i'm starting and need a bit of advise on getting the best sound out of what we have. Funds are limited, so we're going to use the 4 track for recording. What would be a good mixer to get drums,2guitars, and a bass guitar mixed to 2 tracks. We will be recording all music live due to the limited track space, and punching vocals in on the remaining 2 tracks later. I'm thinking if I get an 8 channel mixer it will do the trick, but I'd like to know what YOU think.
thanks in advance

May 29, 2006 09:12 am das what i would do. use panning to your advantage, for the 'authentic sound' i'd just use 3 mics (stereo in the room's sweet spot' and one on the kick) and over dub the vocals (if you can do it in one take). i bet that'd yeald a good 'this is who we are' sound.
lol i think i just contradicted myself!
