The way you described it,that is what it sounded like you were going to to, one instrument at a time, at home, even.

However, I would still record one instrument at a time, even if it is 6-7 tracks, then transfer it to a DAW on a computer, mix down the tracks on the computer, and put them back as one mono track on the device, and then let the next person do their part, import that track to the DAW, mix it down with the previous tracks to a mono track, and then send it on to every person until all the tracks are recorded. Then, you'll have all the individual track or sets of tracks in the computer DAW and you can mix all of them down to your final mix there. But, that's just me.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
