Recording... Almost

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted- from the last post until now, I have finished up my songs for my EP. Now, I have 5 completed songs. I am going to start recording them on Monday with some recording equipment that I will bring in. I’m thinking of bringing in a tape machine with a blue microphone, or if bringing in large equipment like that may be stressful, I’ll just bring in a lap top with a USB microphone. I want to make the EP with "full sound", and what I mean by this is to create a recording with many instruments, not just my voice and the guitar. One thing that I need that I don’t know if I have access to are the horns. I need a sax, trumpet, and trombone player if possible. I could try to ask around and see who would be willing to record. With all of this, I will multi- track record the EP, and record everyone one track at a time.
My Recording Equipment:

 This is my microphone, which i will probably use to record everything. I'm thinking of miking the Drums with this, and have a Dynamic Microphone to the Kick Drum. I want to use the Condenser Mic. to capture the brighter tones, while the Dynamic to capture the low ends.

 

This is my Reel to Reel Machine (1/4 inch tape recorder). I enjoy using this over my Computer because me more of a natural bassy tone, like a ribbon microphone, as compared to moderately priced Digital equipment.

  This is my second Tape Recorder. This is a Cassette recorder, but a higher quality recorder than most generic brands or models. It gives me a good balance of Low and High end sound frequencies, and it sounds like the recordings made on Audacity- It’s pretty clean sounding (very little pops and crackles, when using high quality high bias tape). This recorder is quicker to use than the Reel to Reel recorder, but I enjoy the sound produced on the Reel to Reel more than I do of this recorder.
