So, we went down to the rehearsal rooms last week and recorded this (using zoom H6 recorder)
My son Oliver is playing drums on this. I got too much of the room sound when recording the drums as I put the stereo pair too far back and the rehearsal room is a very big room (30 foot square ! ) so the drum sound didn't come out that great, but I think his playing is pretty darn good considering he has only been playing drums for a year now.
We played this "live". I played the guitar through a pod and DI'd into the recorder (we both had headphones on so we could capture only drums via the mics) and then (for this test) reamped it via a vst in reaper (I will reamp this using the Supro in a few days and mic that up). I recorded the bass at home DI into reaper....my bass playing is not that great as I just can't make the stretches required most of the time so it's a bit jerky (must get a short scale bass soon). I also have a video of Oliver playing the drums whilst we recorded that and will sync that up with this video in a couple of days.
So, here is our attempt at "The Ocean" by zeppelin. By the way the solos are "close" but mostly just as it happened on the day, and just for good measure I dropped in some Robert Plant in the middle bit where otherwise it would be quiet. Need a singer !
All mixed in headphones only I'm afraid, so I hope the levels and EQ are ok.
