I decided to take the leap and buy a macbook pro and some other recording equipment. I set up a little recording studio in my home office. Here is my first recording. Its my sons metalcore band. I used 6 mic's on the drums and then used a mic on the bass and the guitar. The keyboard was recorded direct. The kick was the hardest thing to get to sound right. I had to do some editing to get the sound I have so far. If anyone would care to take a listen let me know what you think about the sound and give me any advice you might have. I am open to any and all advice. I know some of you will hate the singing but its the style what can I say.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes its the quiet voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow. |

Usually guitars are double tracked which means you record two mono tracks separately of the same guitar line. Both times the player plays the same thing and then you pan those two mono tracks left and right. The tracks will sound the same, but they will have those subtle differences that will make them different and the guitars will sound bigger when panned. The amount of panning depends on stereo balance of the whole mix, so always put components to some stereo width and try not to put them all together on one distance in the horizontal stereo line.
No point recording anything in that band in stereo, every component should get it's own mic and should be recorded on mono audio track. All those mono tracks are mixed later in DAW for stereo image. If you have two mics on some component, for example snare or guitar cab they still count as one track, you will pan them together not separately. The main reason you are recording two mics on snare or guitar cab in the first place is to get a better transient response, so you have more frequencies to work with. If you need any more questions feel free to ask, I'll be glad to help mate. Great thing to hear the kids are rocking hard in their youth - keep them rockin
