Recording advice needed
Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2003 2:10 pm
My friends in CA are going to use Sonar 3.0 and they really have no recording equip yet, only their instruments, a couple mics, some amps and, of course, Sonar). They play hard rock like we do. Now, this is the dilema: since the drummer wants to be able to use 4 or 5 mics on his kit when he tracks his drums for each song (verus one mic for everything which would sound rather shitty and give him zero mixing options), what
is the least expensive device to use so he is able to record 4 or 5 tracks
simultaneously with Sonar??
I was thinking maybe they go out and buy a mixing board and a soundcard like the one we have (the M-Audio 2496) but if they do that, all the drum channels will just end up going to one stereo track via the soundcard - and that would defeat the concept of multitracking a drum kit! What should they buy? Any suggestions from some pros out there would be greatly appreciated; they really want to start recording
with Sonar. Thanks in advance : )
