AXE® Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 When recording I like to put down a basic guitar track first with a click track for timing. After establishing the baseline you can add backing or rhythm guitar(s) The first basic track is played in more of a percussionary mode and can be pushed to the back of the mix if desired. Then adding the bass drums and vocal tracks... This is how I do it, your results may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ideally, I like to record the entire band at once for rhythm tracks as I feel you get more energy that way. But, if you're using a drum machine, then I can see doing it your way as long as you can get the drums right after recording the guitar; personally, I like to get the drums down first.

I don't have time to be in a band right now, so I write and record my own stuff. The only difference is since I'm using either a drum machine or drum loops - I will sometimes start with the drum track which of course, I can always change it later. Good tip.

AXE® Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 For now I am the"band, minus the drummer. Finding a cohesive unit is no easy task. And I'm a prick to work with .. lawolz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Bump the wisdom. What I am curious about now is what is the technology available now for home digital real time multiple input recording. Last time I was in an actual studio we were using a 16 track 1 inch tape ampeg machine. I have some basic software that I like from Cakewalk that is simple and suits me alone. But if I wanted to record a band playing live in a home studio so to speak that would require what.....thousands of dollars of equipment ? To correctly mike a drum set is like what 4, 5 channels...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
