Recording yesterday; no click tracks, no multi-tracking... band in a room, hitting record and just going for it!

Love it. We used to record live too. Our drummer would have a click for the first half of the song and then we'd take it off part of the way through for a natural feeling lift. We'd usually redo the vocals and then add any overdubs.

Man I miss recording.

There you go my lovely.

Pretty simple tbh. I don't use the SD1. It is just on there because I thought I needed to look like a proper guitarist.

The DD500 I use as my master tempo clock for the board, but currently only got the Nemesis on there to clock against. Nemesis is on analog mode. DD-500 is on standard digital delay on the 1st switch, and analog delay on the 2nd switch. I use the DD500 as a subtle analog delay, and the Nemesis as a more full on one. I often hit the RV-5 and the Nemesis at the same time when switching parts.

MercuryX I use for a huge ambient pad-wash thing. Then everything else is wah pedal and fingers!

I really want to try a nemesis, they're so cheap second hand it would be rude not to.

I don't bother with the software part of it. I just use it like you would a DD-5 or whatever. Really great sounds in it, and certainly the ADT version has really good noise floor performance.

That's probably how I'll be using it too. I have no desire to connect my phone to my pedalboard. I get a bit frustrated with the menu diving in the DD-500, the sounds are great and the tweakability is fantastic but it can be a bit slow and long winded to get in there and change things.

So we recorded the drums for 3 songs two weeks ago. Been comping together the takes. We didn't record to a click, we didn't use IEM's, we didn't record the drums separately to the guitars. Drummer and two guitarists in a room, with cabs in the room for vibe.

Around 5-6 takes of each song... comping them together into the perfect representation of the song.

Doing overdubs this weekend. Bass week after.

What is a tempo map and what does this mean? I don't know anything about recording

When you play your guitar and you think you're playing at a certain tempo, chances are - even if you're the best musician in the world - you are not playing at a constant tempo. There are always small tempo variations in a performance. This is very evident when you watch a live band too, and you can feel how they push and pull against the beats, speed up, slow down for a breakdown, etc.

So what a tempo map does is, rather than destroy the performance recorded in the audio to fit it to a fixed tempo grid, it allows you to fit the grid to the audio. In Cubase you can drag the bar and beat markers to reference points in your recorded audio (kick drum for example) and the click will follow. Very useful if you record live drums and then want to have a click reference for a bassist or guitarist to overdub their parts later on.

Ah, so it's like quantization for drums essentially. I always figured in studio drummers still played to a metronome and since drummers are magical creatures to me I always assumed they still played in perfect time since that's their wholeass job. But I know you mentioned above you also did the recording really raw instead of the usual drums first, bass then guitar, etc so I wasn't sure if this was related to that.
