Hi all,

I know there have been a couple of big band threads in the past and I have scoured them for details. I was hoping some of you might be able to jump in and help me out with a big band jazz recording I've got coming up. I've mostly recorded small groups, solo singer/songwriters, with the occasional rock band and church choir thrown in.

First, the setup of the band:

Recording a local Big Band tomorrow and wanted some advice.

The band is made up of
Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Percussion, 2 Flutes, Trumpets, Trombones and Saxes (about 8 in each of the brass sections.
There will be 2 soloists

We're recording in a fairly dead theatre with an audience (although it's all about the recording)

Hi folks, this is my first post here.

Hi all,

I am just starting out recording bands. In a few weeks I have a recording session with an indie-rock band coming up. I will be recording them in a well-equipped, but very small studio. There are no iso booths or chambers to put the guitar and bass amps. This poses a few problems I'd like your advice on.

Hey geniuses. I'm in a high school sophomore in a band (bass, drums, guitar/vocals) and we are planning to start recording soon. We play pop punk and modern rock mostly i would say. We don't have enough money for studio time yet, but we want to make a quality demo making due with our own equipment. I would be using garageband or Cubase to record us using the Lexicon Lambda interface.

Hi everybody, I'm new, and I'm a real amateur at this stuff, so if I ask a stupid quesion, I apologize.

Hi all,

Did a search and there's been nothing recent on the topic so...
I got the call to record the school's big band tomorrow. It's quite good, wins lots of awards and they're doing some great Gordon Goodwin charts.

Anyway - I've got 16 digital inputs. 8 channels of quality pre (4 Seb, 4 Sytek)

Hello all!

Ok – I have been surfing the net for about 3 hours now, and am trying to figure out how to get the setup I need for a band I am in. I’m new to all this stuff, so please bear with me.

I will have a Sonic Youth-type band coming in in a couple of weeks, so i'm trying to gather a little information about what was used to record at their sessions, I could only find one of the studios' name ("Murray Street", the band's own facility)but nothing particular about Micing techniques/equipment/engineers etc... also searching recording.org did not yield any results..

I want to start up my own portable recording studio using my macbook pro and wanted to know which software I should use and what equipment to get. I plan on recording voice and instrumental tracks, mainly for songwriting.
