New Recording Setup

[Geriatric Jeff]

We're a "band" that never leaves my basement, except to play at a friends picnic once a year. Since we're only able to all be available every 4 to 6 weeks I came up with the idea to record our basement sessions and then we'd all have a CD to practice along to. The latest version of my "studio" is two Zoom R-16's linked together giving us 16 separate tracks. The Zoom's record onto an SD Card, I pop it in my computer, open it with n-track studio, and can mix, adjust, add effects, and pretend I know what I'm doing and then master the thing down to a finished product.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

Sounds actually really good.Almost like you went to a studio.

Most definitely more than adequate for your purpose. Would even make for a decent demo for distribution. That's a step I need to take. I record all rehearsals then post the MP3 files on a members only section of our website so everyone can listen to their mistakes (lol). I have no post-production mixing capabilities and just mix live, which leads to some weird balance issues, but it still works ok. I use a ZOOM H1 and record off of my monitor mix.

I find that very helpful. I wish every project I was in did this.
