Hi Everyone,
The questions for this week:
Tasha had questions about Mastering, releasing music, marketing, etc - what to do once you HAVE the recordings.
Archer had questions about microphones and how to properly record a band rehearsal with one or two mics.
Ray asked about songs with only one chord, vamping, and block chords
Andy was wondering why I always specify "half diminished" instead of "diminished triad"
David asked what is the best way to get better and how many hours should I practice?

2023-06-14 10:47:23 +0000 UTCHey Scott. Questions on recording band rehearsals with minimal equipment. So a few friends and I got together and hammered out a few tunes in my garage recently. We used one of our smartphone devices to record but was obviously not ideal. I do have a two channel Focusrite Scarlett (2i4) interface that I use with Garageband. Just using this setup, would it be best to just use the Scarlett to place a couple of microphones at opposite ends of our area? Are there particular mikes for this purpose? I know at some point we'll have to invest in something with more inputs or channels. Thanks again for all your help and keep up the great work -- it truly helps. And congrats on your latest Hot Bodies release.
