If you have the space and the band is practiced up and ready, id say record the band together, that way the band works off eachothers energy(good performanc) If you have a small recording spot you can multitrack.. I do both depending on the setting and they both work great!!

I remember reading about several Christians bands that did that, although I don’t remember which albums it were mentioned. I do remember that I didn’t like those CD’s as much as the ones they produced the traditional way, though.

The first thing I …
The first thing I always make is a click track to get the tempo locked in. Then, on top of that, I record a rough run-through of the song to serve as a template for the rest. From there on out, I’d go rhythm section first. But different people do it different ways…

Thanks! I think I’d record drums first, then bass, then the two guitars, then vocals. What do you think? I don’t have space to record the whole band, and I only have one iMac with one input.

There’s no one …
There’s no one right way to do it. For a live recording, you do record everything at once (and add to or correct parts later in the studio). For a studio album, it’s most common to record things separately, although there are those that record the band all at one in different rooms of the studio time to get a more organic feel.

So you’re supposed to record the whole band together? Not one at a time? What about the vocals? Are they recorded with the band, or are they recorded over the instrumental parts? Thanks!
