Instrument/Vocal Setup for remote live rehearsal
-
I am a first-timer, and I need some help setting up a live remote rehearsal.
Here is the setup:Me in Atlanta GA, playing harmonica through a harp mike and singing through a Sure SM58 dynamic mic . Currently both are connected to a Focusrite 2i2 DAI, which is connected to a Mac Mini M2 via USBC. I have Farplay installed on the MAC, which is connected via Ethernet to a gigabit router. I have gig-speed service via Xfinity.
Bass player in New Jersey – not sure what his Internet setup is, but assume it is adequate
Drummer, Lead Guitar and singer in Mexico City. Again not sure what the Internet setup is.I understand the connectivity requirements and will work with the band to optimize them
My question is how should the instrument players (electric guitar, bass and drums) be set up for the live session – should we mic all of their amps and patch the mics into a mixer/DAI and into their computers, or if they can direct input into their computers should they do that? Or can they play live using their amps into 1-2 dynamic mics?
I looked at the Mixer instructions and am not clear on how you assign remote inputs to tracks. Can you elaborate on that?
Sorry if these questions sound dumb. I know enough about audio mixing to be dangerous.
I really want this to work bc I have several collaboration opportunities. This one is for a live show in October so the ability to rehearse remotely would be a huge benefit.
Appreciate any advice you can offer, and happy to answer questions to make it clearer.
