Interested to hear how this comes out sounding. My band have started gigging now, done a couple over summer and have a third lined up early September, but we've got nothing recorded other than practice sessions on out phones and the Zoom H1N that I got. It's great for that purpose but not for anything to release. But I really want to go down the DIY route of recording stuff ourselves just as another fun creative avenue that we can all pitch in and learn together.

The DIY route can definitely work, all the early releases with my old band were self recorded in practice rooms, the caveat is, you do need a bit of gear and quite a bit of know-how. Some things are easier (guitars, vocals) than others (drums) but it can be great fun and push you creatively 👍

possible stupid question, but how have you gone about getting gigs with practice session recording? Essentially, i need to do this. I have a new band, I want to start sorting some live stuff and ideally without the rigmarole of 'proper' recording, the new project is intended to be much more chill/less work than previous ones.

Nice playing man!
I've been recording an EP at the moment with my band, I'll share some stuff here once we have it wrapped up but it's been such fun!
We decided that we were neither well rehearsed enough or sure of ourselves enough to make good use of a two day session at a studio so we decided to spend the same amount of money on recording gear and figure it out ourselves...
It's been going on for about four months now but such is the difficulty of getting people into a room together when you're over thirty and have all of the rest of life to be getting on with.
We've had to come up with some interesting and varied techniques for dealing with the imperfect acoustic conditions of our makeshift studio :)
