For our final episode we’re going to look back on some on ten of the most important points we’ve learned so far about recording a band and mixing a track afterwards.

1. Gear
If you choose to record a band playing together, make sure you’re prepared with the right equipment;
The essentials are
• Microphones: dynamic mics for the guitar and bass amplifiers and condenser microphones for vocals, ambient room recording. Drums mic’ing will require a mixture of both.
• You'll also need mic stands for close and ambient placement of these mics and XLR cables for all the mics with spares in case you have any problems.
• You'll need an audio interface capable of taking multiple simultaneous inputs so you can record the signals from speaker and drum mics.
• Take a laptop with a spec capable of efficiently running digital audio workstation software.
• Finally, be prepared. Bring spares of all your cables; especially guitar and effects pedal patch leads. Also, bring spare strings for your guitars.
