Default Re: Recording Practice Sessions

hey!


Aight so heres the thing. There's plenty of ways you can try, but will you get a sound without a loud fuzz to hear everything? I doubt it but it is possible.

Many persons may tell you the get a cassette (or digital) recorder. Although, those things aren't the cheapest. You might find one that gives a good sound for the money you want to spend (a good quality/price thing). But the chances that it will sound bad because of the cheap built-in mic are high!
You could always use a microphone to plug it in.

You gave us the size of the room where you jam, but it doesn't matter THAT much. What really matters is how your stuff is set up and where the mike is. The volume and the emplacement of your stuff will be very important. If you want a good sound, you might want buy a multi-directionnal mic.

Now, i know this might not help that much since you don't have that much money to spend. And I have to say honestly that you can try cheap ways. I've heard once a band that recorded their songs with a broken 30$ mic hanging from the ceilling connected to a computer using a cheap recording program. And you know what? you could clearly ear every instrument and it sounded actually good for the cheapest live recording in the world.

So my advice would be that even though ppl will tell you to buy this and that, try with all the stuff you got. Try and try and try and try again and then some again. If you don't get anything good (with the installement you moved many times and etc) then maybe it's time to spend money on a cassette recorder.


anyways, good luck with that!
