Hi all,
I am new to the forum and the world of recording music. I had just recently bought a tascam dp03sd to record my tunes on. I’ve been figuring it out pretty quick, even made a test track with guitar, bass and drums. I have a sm57 mic that I use to mic the bass, guitar and drums all separately, one at a time. I have some ideas for songs but there’s one thing I know I’m going to run into which is picking up where I left off on a drum track if I stop or if I make a mistake. Basically I know I’m not going to get a whole drum track down in one take and may have to stop, rewind, play it back and go from where I left off, if that makes sense to you. For my test track I recorded a simple bass track, then guitar, then played it back and added drums. Sounded great, but that was easy and wasn’t any major change ups and there was a few hiccups here and there. SO, What is the trick to recording a nice drum track? Does it have to get done in one take or can it be split up into sections?
Thanks all for the help
