I guess I'm you're typical mid-30's guy, a job, a wife, 3 kids, a dog. Not much time for drums and certainly not time to be in a band and gigging. On top of that, I play weekly services for our church (contemporary praise band ala Bethel) that includes a Thursday night 7-9 rehearsal and an 8:30-12 Sunday commitment.
Here's the thing, I still try to jump on the kit for 30-60 min once or twice a week at home and I'd like to be able to record it well so I can polish myself and also to share with the youtube audience.
I have a MAC and it has Garage band. I have a friend who is a studio engineer and conversations with him have gotten overly complicated. I don't need studio quality sound. I just need something that replicates the sound better than my iPhone. I took a few recording classes in college so I'm familiar with the basics of mic placement and such. What I really need input with is an interface and/or software. For video, I'm 100% good with still using my iPhone. I just need to be able to connect a song track, the mics, and the video all together and upload it to youtube. Pretty sure I can use iMovie for that.
As far as mics, I'm comfortable experimenting, but was going to to with kick and overhead to start.
EDIT: or maybe just an all-in-one Zoom recorder unit. I don't care really, just want some decent, share-able sound.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
