OK...not been on here fer ages. Moved to NZ from UK, left/sold all my tape recording gear ( ahhh, my beloved Tascam R2R), Yamaha 16G, pres...the lot.
All I have now is access to a p.c (pretty good specs but just standard AC97 s/card with 1/8" mic & line-in), coupla decent condensers (Oktava & ADK) and my trusty PZM mic.
So...what I need is either a new s/card (not a good option - it's not my pc), a cheap pre so I can use my condenser mics ( was thinkin Audio Buddy - but then, I'd hafta connect into the crappy mic input on the s/card wouldn't I?) or one of those M-Audio Mobile-pres (the USB ones).
I'll only be working up demos & recording two tracks simultaneously max.
Any thoughts?
Cheers guys...
