Live recording, mixed at home

Here's something I'm working on for fun. I'm pretty happy with where the mix is going but certainly open to critique. Used an XLR split from the house mics plus a few mics of my own to my GB2R/HD24 setup.

Mixed and mastered at home on my 5.1 system, though mostly in 2.1 mode.

(Beware the F-bomb at the start if you're at work or whatever.)

Hello,

I am primarily a musician, however I have been running a "Rock Band" after school program which is a lot of fun. I have a lot of experience with Garageband and I know this doesn't get much credit as a program, but I did a lot of recording on it with my friend in the past and I had results I was happy to listen to and continue to enjoy listening to.

live recording vs multitracking for acoustic guitar and vocal?

Forums

Hi, I'm a singer/songwriter recording my first demo at college and I'm getting some conflicting advice. I'm only recording acoustic guitar and vocal and wondered how best to do this, live with no headphone mix, to a click track and add drums later or should I still overdub? any advice welcome and much needed, cheers, TC

Help! - Indexing tracks on a live recording

Hi

Need a little help. I have a semi-pro home studio and have recorded 2 commercial albums and countless demos, and have always been pleased with the results. I was recently asked to record a band live, so took a PreSonus Firepod and laptop and made the recording using Cubase 5. All mixed and mastered as a single 1hr track, and sounds great (sorry for the conceit!)
