I have a guy who's coming by the house tomorrow and wants to record himself singing and playing his guitar. I have a SB Audigy sound card and it doesn't have multiple inputs like in a recording studio. He's going to be singing and picking his guitar and I have to capture both simultaenously, obviously.

How's that going to work when I go to adding effects and such? If I had reverb to his vocal it's going to get added to the guitar playing too, right? It's all on ONE TRACK..

Should I have him record his guitar playing only on track 1 and then come back and dub his voice in on track 2 and then if he wants to add BASS guitar, add that to track 3?

I have a Behringer Mixer 802. If that helps any...................

ha ha....... and I know he's a toe-tapper when's playing so I'm gonna have to give him a piece of thick carpet under his foot or a big pillow... otherwise my SM57 shure mic will pick up the toe-tapping.


thanks in advance for any suggestions............ and no, I ain't going out and buying a M-Audio multi channel sound card. Ha ha ha ha- Wish I could afford one.
