What were you going to use for mics and preamps, anyway? Even more crap? The final product from a pro studio will probably be 100 times better than what you could cobble together with your limited budget and knowledge of recording.
Save up your money and buy something of quality that will afford you some flexibility and will be of use for more than a few days. There's lots to learn and the most important parts might be what your witnessing when a pro AE records your drummer.
BTW, the Firewire based Firestation by Prosonus is flexible and sounds pretty good. Audio Interface, MIDI interface, 2 mic preamps, and stand alone AD/DA capabilities for about $600. Doesn't suck. |
I have 2 drum only sessions coming in soon.
If your practised you should get out in half a day.
I have done this for a few people in the last few years.
Drums are one of the hardest thing to do at home.
You need a good room, mics and pres and convertors..
