I'm planning on recording a live show this weekend.
I have free subgroups I can route freely to.
Band is: Drums, Bass, Git, 2 Acoustic Gits, Keys
4 Backing Vocs, 2 Lead Vocs
I have 3 stereo FX returns: 1 drum Verb, 1 Verb for Vocals & Acc Git
(TC Electronic M2000, 2 engines summed) & the occasional Delay.
How would you suggest I submix all channels to just 6 tracks?
Is there an established way of doing this?
My thoughts:
- track 1 2: all instruments
- track 3 4: all Vocs
- track 5 6: all FX
An alternative I had in mind was:
- track 1 2: stereo instruments (Drums, Keys)
- track 3 : mono instruments (they're roughly not panned)
- track 4 : backing Vocs
- track 5 : lead Vocs
- track 6 : FX (stereo summed)
Thanks in advance!
