Hello all, I'm a drummer, in a technical/death metal band, looking for a way to record. I don't know much of anything about recording, but I would like to learn more about recording and for our band to get our own recording gear.
Right now we are running with Vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. If I wanted to do all the recording at home, what kind of gear should I get? What do I need? I'm not trying to sound like an echoey hollow gym recorded with a web cam. I would like the sound to be full, and clear. Is there any way to afford all of this with < $800 ?
Thanks for reading/responses in advance.

you don't not directly you would have to mix/join some of them
you don't
not directly
you would have to mix/join some of them together (toms + ?)
the best you could do and stay stereo would be Kick Snare and stereo Overheads
An 8 input interface would give you individuals here
( and still need to give up one for stereo O/H )
$800 is so very low to try for a technical/death metal drum sound in one hit and with no experience
you first hurdle could be the drum recording location
minimally - get a 4 channel recording interface. Fast Track Ult
minimally - get a 4 channel recording interface. Fast Track Ultra or maybe a Lexicon Ionix U42.
get a few mics that fit your budget. stands and cables. good to get started, but you'll eventually need studio monitors and headphones.
but the meat of it, you can get for under $800.
good luck1
