Hi, having drummed in bands for years, I have decided to have a go at home recording.
I am a bit perplexed by all the choices out there and need a bit of advice getting it right.
I have a £700 budget to get started but already have a small collection of mics (enough to mic a full kit and a SM58).
I am considering the following to start:
Audio Interface:
Focus Saffire Pro 40 (£287)
Large Condenser Mic:
Audio-Technica AT 2035 (£114)
Software:
Reaper (£50)
Monitors:
???
I can buy these later as I have a pair of speakers that will suffice just now.
Computer/Laptop:
I have about £250 left by the time I buy cables etc for a computer/laptop
I am looking for advice/suggestions on a suitable PC/laptop with a FireWire port that would support the Focus Sapphire Pro 40.
Any idea if I can pick up a suitable PC/Laptop for this price and if so, what one/where do I get it?
Have I missed out anything obvious I will need?
Thanks for taking time to read this.
