I think ive figured out how to set up a decent enough situation to record some music tomorrow. I have a nice mic but it needs a micro SD thsr is a decade old or so, if not the formatting is wrong, so figuring out how to use my shitty phone mic for now has been interesting. I figured out my diy technique when living somewhere I could be louder as well which made the process easier. I could record drums, play the drum recording super loud over a PA while I laid down the bass and just use that as a single track when mixing etc.im.gonna need more finesse in my apartment . Edit: ive also figured out how to make contact mics work with regular speaker wire so I dont need to splice old patch cords unless I wanna input through a patch connection like to a guitar amp. Speaker wire means I can use old stereo amps. Gonna look into a xylophone to hook up to wires. Hopefully it doesnt catch fire.
That sounds rad as fuck
There's a bunch of guides online for making contact mics and its pretty fun. You need a soldering iron but it's super basic stuff. Ive got an old guitar i wanna try wiring up to a broken piano, you gotta hit the strings directly with a mallet but if theyre magnetized I csn fo something eith those pickups
