Hey everybody,
I've been working on recording a demo for my band with a pretty limited amount of equipment. This is my first experience recording a song ever, and I'm having fun. I recorded all tracks with an sm57 (my only mic) except for bass, which went straight into my MOTU 8pre. The drums were created with Jamstix 2. I exclusively used a LP through a Bogner Shiva into a 2x12 cab with v30s. Everything was put together in Cubase Studio 5.
What I'm looking for is opinions on whether I'm getting the levels right, if the guitar tones sound okay, amount of reverb is ideal, etc. If there are any pointers you can give me at all, I'd really be happy to hear them. I don't have the very end of the song recorded, so it just cuts off at the end.
I plan to re-record the vocals after I get the music where I want it, so no need to bash my singing, lol. And yes, I know I'd benefit from using more mics, especially for vocals, but it'll be awhile before the wife lets me put any more moolah into this.
Thanks guys, and keep it constructive.
