But instead of going with random/generic songs, since we all share one same interest here, we would play songs from N64 games. We're talking about simple arrangements, nothing too elaborated so you wouldn't need to be very advanced. You could just play as you prefer and go at your own pace. I've talked with buddy, he'll play the guitar and I'll play the bass.

It seems like that if you do it right you can actually get a decent sound out of it with just one mic. Of course we should aim to the best sound possible but it doesn't have to sound pro. I don't have the best recording interface myself. Why don't you give it a go?
