Frank Zappa recorded an album on a 4-track this way and got 48 tracks on it.<br />
- Try to record the guitar at "live" levels. Most amps really shine<br />
when cranked up.<br />
- When doing the final mix, if you have a stereo chorus, you can give<br />
the tape a more stereo sound. Also reverbs and delays on snare,<br />
vocals, guitar (depending on guitarists rig) are good.<br />

Another approach, and one that's the opposite of that mentioned by<br />
Dave Copland in another post, is to try to get a good live recording<br />
of as much of the band as possible in order to avoid generation loss<br />
due to bouncing.<br />
Basically what you do is to put a couple mikes in front of the drums<br />
in an X-Y configuration. One mic goes to one channel the other to the<br />
other. Find a way to get the bass in the center of the mix, either by<br />
putting the bass amp behind the mics, across from the drummer, or by<br />
running the bass direct and record onto the same two tracks that the<br />
mics are recording on with the bass panned center. Put the rhythm<br />
guitarist off to one side. Experiment with distances from the mics<br />
and volumes until the stereo mix of these three instruments is good.<br />
