recording next weekend.

[drummerfreak33]

My band begins recording our first cd next week. We are going to be doing a 5 song ep. My friend and I both have the mbox and are going to utilizing it for the recording. What we are going to be doing is laying the drum tracks down at a professional studio, and than recording everything else with the mbox. We are attempting to get as close to a professional sound as we can without dropping cash yet, that will come in time. I am wondering if anyone else has gone about this route? and if so how has it worked out for you?
