Ok, well i HAVE recorded before, i have never done it myself.
Im looking to put some pieces together to be semi-portable (jam space-studio kind of deal) and i would like to be able to set up mics for the drums, and have some left for the guitar/vocals so we could set everything up and kind of leave it alone. My singer has experience with his little home setup, and has most of the mics (might need another set for my drums) but no experience with a more "high end" setup.
I have a good laptop (Toshiba Qosmio 300X) and an Imac to use. The Imac has garage band installed, i currently use it for toying with my V-drums. Ideally i would use the laptop. I would like to be able to record at our "studio" space, then bring my laptop home to edit everything either on one of my home computers or i may invest in some decent monitor speakers and create a little space for the laptop.
Essentially im thinking i would like some sort of mixer that i could plug into the laptop, with enough channels to supply a 5 piece band (6 piece drum kit) and software/other setup that would allow me to edit it at home.
Sorry for clarifying several times, just want to be as clear as possible.
