D.I.Y Band recording - how to record band rehearsals, gigs, videos... micing drums, guitar and bass

How to record your band and how to make it sound great! This video shows you our method. How we capture our trio in a very effortless way every band rehearsals and every gig. We recently got an incredible kit from Lewitt microphone and this encouraged us to develop our method even further. Another major update was Two Note's C.A.B. M cabinet simulation. We never sounded this good on daily basis and we're excited to share our method with you. Hope this video gives you and your band some good tips on recording. Even if you dont' have a band and think of recording your music you might get some spark out of this video.

Watch out band rehearsal video "Mountains and Hills" with 4 live tracks:

We can highly recommend you LEWITT microphones. Incredible mics! Here's the kit we use. DTP Beat Kit Pro 7. https://lewitt.link/dtp-beatkitpro7-info

Another recommendation TWO NOTES Torpedo C.A.B. M. Vitrual cabinet, micing, poweramp, eq. I love this!!! https://www.two-notes.com/torpedo-cab-m

Peace and love to HUGHES & KETTNER. Even after 5 years of playing exclusively with Tubemeister Deluxe 40, I'm still as excited about the tone as when I first got it! http://hughes-and-kettner.com/product...
