Hey,
I'm looking to get a home recording set up as a surprise for my girlfriend but I have literally no idea where to start other than the fact I have a decent pc already.
So far I've ascertained that I need to get a mic (duh) & a preamp, but I've got no idea what else, or even which mic etc to buy. Also need a sound card since I run on on-board sound atm, but not sure which would be the best.
I'm pretty pc savvy but totally clueless on the music side of things, that's the forte of my better half, so if anyone could give me a little list of what I need and any recommendations that would be absolutely fantastic.
My budget isn't huge, I'm a poor student but I'm not averse to scouring ebay for bargains Also I'm based in the UK.
Thank you very much for any/all help!
