These are rough as guts-like the band
We recorded into a Yamaha portastudio using 8 tracks.
Mics - used 4 mics on drums based on tip from the drum forum i.e 2 OH's marshall mx 63 (i think) one 2 drum sticks height over the snare , one over the drummers shoulder, sm57 on the snare and At25pro on the kick. got that tip from this site.
sm57 on 2 guitar cabs, kick drum mic on on bass, sm58 on vocals. theres some backups vocals sung into the OH's.
I got all the tracks and then loaded onto cubase. there is so much bleed on everything that there wasn't much I could do except put a bit of compression on the mixdown versions, pan the guitars.
We are just looking to get a semi decent demo that shows our energy playing live but without all the clipping/mud.
Would using a compressor on the vocals help? pretty clueless.
these are just some covers that we do. We would really like to have another attempt and record our originals but have been so underwhelmed by these results that we will hold off untill we know a bit more about what we are doing.
Actually these were the only songs we got recorded that day as the drummer spilt a beer onto the portastudio, rendering it useless(its currently with the dealers being repaired).<insert drummer joke here>
any info about improving the recording quality would be greatly appreciated.
