Hi All.
This is my first recording that i have made with my firestudio...Ill give you a quick rundown of the process and attach my current mix to the bottom.

The mix is finished yet, and needs some bashing, i want this thing to be as good as possible, im doing everything for free at the moment and need to get experience to start charging!

Anyways....

Day 1: Conditions = Far Less Than Perfect, I took my rig over to the drummer house and recorded in his loungeroom, Drummer recorded to a click, with no other band members helping with the structure etc, and was spot on!. .

Kick - Beta 52 [The kick is a Mix of sample and original
Snare - SM57
Tom1/2 & 3/4 - SM57
Overheads - Axis1 SDCs

Day 2: Guitar -
SM57 on a Marshall MG100DFX into my mini guitarfort thing i made up for the occasion.
Also recorded a D.I. Track.
Guitars are 50/50 recorded amp and amp sim

Day 3: Bass and Vocals
I believe i used a '57 on vocals for this one. Let me know how you think it sounds. IMO its not terrible. couldnt do much better with what i have.

Bass, Di + amp sim

Day 4: Vocals/..again
The vocalist forgot some lyrics the first time round so i got him back and redid it, same mic etc.

Well Here the current mix......
