Hello all,
First weekly beats for me. I'll do my best to release lots of content. I was curious about what are your setups? All computer based? mostly acoustic? analog gear? etc, etc... Time to brag about our setup, to speak a little about our workflows. I am "trying" to record music since a while, so I do own some stuff.
I will personally try to do mostly acoustic content but will probably take the opportunity to release some electronic based tunes as well.
My setup:
Cockos Reaper with mostly free plugins.
Soundcards: at rehearsal studio with the band Audient id14 and an old motu 8pre fw, at home a focusrite scarlet 18i8 first gen.
Mics: Shure pg drum microphone kit, audix i5, a chinese large diaphragm condenser mic, a samson Q7.
A small novation midi controller, a roland td6 electronic drum (damn I find it hard to do a good performance, even more when I do not move some air.)
An old drum, mixed shell westbury, pearl, sabian cymbals...
Too many guitars (strat, tele, lespaul, an acoustic one) (I don't really play, will try to use them this year )
Amps: Fender pro jr (small 15w 10" amp) and a Randall RD1H Diavlo 1W
I'll see how I'll record my things, but probably a 4 mic setup for my acoustic drums, sometime 6/7 depending if I have time to do more setup. I'll try to record some stuff with a guitarist friend as well, probably live multi-track on the local.
I might be able to find time to record acoustic drums at home on weekends, maybe not, if I do it will be probably mono drums, 2 or 3 mics.
I'll steal an electric bass to the bassist of my band as well so I can do some electric bass tracks...
I hope it will be fun and that I will release some ok tunes.
Have a good year all!
JPD.
