Question Hey, i've been recording my whole drum set in one channel and i'm sick of it. I'm getting a mixer, and I wanna know what program that will have each channel recorded as an individual track on the software, and if you know how to do so, can you please tell me? It seems real complicated. Thanks.
Answer Jake,
This is a topic that I could write volumes about but it's really not complicated at all. There are quite a few programs that I could recommend, Cakewalk Sonar, Sony Acid Pro, but Digidesign Pro Tools is probably the most widely used. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is an excellent program and you will also need an interface between the mixer and computer such as a Digidesign Mbox. I personally think the more important choice will be the mixer and mic selection, not to mention recording technique. I will be glad to give you tips on those if you need. Keep in mind, depending on the genre and the size of the kit, drums will require quite a few tracks. Feel free to write me back for more details regarding the drum recording process.
