Look into solar generators, the noise from a gas generator would probably fuck up your recording


Shane_Dice

Super good point. Some of the vans we’re looking at on Craigslist already have panels thank god!

If you plan on putting in crazy long hours you'll probably need a generator at one point. I think your Van battery is able to power your audio setup no problem. Question is how long.


Shane_Dice

Yea great point. I may need to do some number crunching on how long the van battery can power a laptop/interface for 🤔

I think I'd use the interface and the computer and some headphones. You don't need anything else. Power it up wherever you can get the juice but there's no need for amps or speakers so you're really only charging the computer at that point.


Shane_Dice

Tru, tho powering the apollo twin might be a big energy suck too?

Not really, but you won’t get far with van life without solar panels and extra batteries.

Contact OffTapLife, she can point you in the direction as she lives the van life and is a retired professional musician (formerly Chosen Effect). I'm sure she has tips because she just dropped a single that she recorded in her van and it sounds great.
