recording rhodes/nordlead/bass/drums semi live

drmstl · 4th October 2007, 12:49 AM

Hello, need some advice for recording a jazzrock trio (drums+bass+fender rhodes/nordlead), live in their rehearsing room.

the drumkit will have a large condenser in front capturing the bd and the general low frequencies of the kit + 2 overheads somewhere at 3-6 feet aimed (usually costs me 3 days being a drummer) at the snare and floortom.

the rhodes/norlead + bass come thru kinda crappy amps, but their sound in the room is quite ok

any suggestions?

Both, if possible, and if you're not sure about the miking. Especially the bass sounds way better when miked.
