Importance good audio interface

[mrdanny]

Hi there, I'm going to explain my situation fastly, I have bought an audio fast track usb II, (24bit 48khz), for 50$, and recently I'm going to buy an mxl v69, I think it's a good mic, but I'm affraid that the interface is too much basic, how much does an interface could be important? I think the mic would not sound good because of the interface...

1st step...choose a microphone....check the spec... especially "self noise" and other parameter that you need to know...
2nd step....test your mic with several audio interface at store...the goal is to test the preamp "noise"....,a low end audio interface mostly have terrible preamps....

I have never checked the spec when auditioning a microphone. If it sounds good, it sounds good. End of story for me.


Cheers

if you can get the sound into your daw , tweak it with comp and eq, you should be able to get something useful from that gear
