I've just come back from recording with my brother in Canada. He has a set up in a small barn on his property in Southwestern Ontario. He calls it the shed. My brother Brodie plays electric guitar and sings, his son, Durrie, plays the drums and I sat in on the bass. He records with one stereo microphone direct to DAT, all three of us at the same time. It took him a while to get the right balance in the sound but now he has tight yet massive rock sound. When he gets it mastered I'll post some tracks on my profile.

I have pictures of the set up if anyone is interested.

Anyone else going back to basics like my brother? In this day and age of computerised recording systems, how rare is it for people to record their CDs like this?
