Hey Everyone,
I am currently looking to set up my home studio. I've had a drum machine/sampler and a keyboard/synth for a while and I am looking to expand, use my PC, and record my music with good sound quality. I have been doing vast research on home setups, and I am still a little confused as to what I need and don't need. My confsion lies in the sound card and mixer, the two major components for a PC based home studio. It is just me so I don't need to record multiple instruments at once, just one at a time. I will hook up my keyboard and synth through midi, and I also want to connect my guitar through audio. So it will be two midis an one guitar.
Do I need something like a delta 66 or even an omni studio or would an audiophile card be fine for that?
Do I want a card with preamps for vocals, or should I get a seperate preamp?
Do I need the omni studio, or should I just use an external mixer?
Do I need an external mixer or can everything bedone on the computer?
And when I record my final copy can I do that all on the computer or do I need an external device like a dat or an external hard disk controler?
I know this is a lot of questions, but I have spent weeks looking for answers and I keep coming up short. If anyone can help me Iwould really appreciate it. Thanks!
