Okay Im techincally 'challenged' so I really need help starting up a home studio to record a full 3 piece prog rock band. I know ZERO about recording except that you need mics to do it
I have 2 main computers (the latest Imac and powerbook) no recording software (unless you include garage band)
Im looking to put up to 5K into this unless thats unrealistic to record a full band. Then i'll have to go bare bones at first and get more over time. Should i start with software, then mics, then ???
FWIW, we've actually recorded 3 albums at a high end studio (won best rock album of the year in Washington DC with our 3rd) but the touring days are over and I just want to record songs/practices upon occasion. So i do know HOW to be recorded but I dont really know much else. so please be slow and easy with me. As good musicians as we are... we are really clueless on this part but would like to learn.
Ask me all the questions you want and i'll answer as best I can. I really appreciate the help!!
