Live recording can also be "professional". Do you mean the difference between "studio recording" and "live recording", or do you mean the difference between "professional recording" and "amateur recording"?

 

[Dime]

maybe elaborate on everthing you have just mentioned about recording.

 

[GUYrenCE]

i think live recording is

a full band <then sort out into each gears...like guitarist's soundwave,drums soundwave
then slowly add them together


a studio recording which most bands are doing
are done layer by layer...so it's like 1 by 1 record

for me..DEMO would be live recording cause is RAW AND LIVE/unless you'r editing it then is not live anymore....


erm....i think i might be wrong....
so yeah...

 

[budakbone]

i think pro recording refers more to multi-track recording while live recording means getting 1 or a lil more mics and record just like that, "live". that's just a guess

Multi-track recording - With use of metronome,layering etc. More tight and compact sound
Live recording - Use of human Metronome (the usual case), abit loose and less compact sound

Demo or Full-length, its always wise to go for the best sound. So I'd prefer high quality demos. In fact those labels out there would be impressed by high quality demos.

But then again its up to personal preference lah.

usually its more expensive and it takes longer to do multi track recording as it is tedious to eq every single track and it requires a wide range of sound engineering skills to get good results.

for live recording, its easier in a sense that everybody plays at once like performing live or jam almost perfectly and the mixing and eq'ing process is slightly simpler as there's only one master track to edit. it requires a good deal of mixing skills also.

since the aim for demos are usually not for commercial sales, budget for demos can be quite tight. Me thinks that unless the band has already launched an album (in which they can pluck selected songs from there), its quite an expensive investment to make a professional multitrack recorded demo especially if its the 1st press release.

Of course, i'm not saying u can't do DIY home multi track recording if u got enough equipments and knowledge. THAT multitrack recording wouldn't be considered professional recoding would it?

Professional recording is not necessarily multi-track recording. Strictly, it means you pay somebody good to record your band. 2 methods: multi-track or live recording.

it'll be more correct to say, compare:

multi-track vs live
and
professional vs DIY
