Hello all,
New member, first post. OK, basically I am new to recording and have done as much reading as I can and need some direction. Pretend I am hiring you as a consultant to find the best solution for me. Here are my needs and my budget:
-- Recording solo classical guitar
-- Portability would be nice but not critical
-- Can't record to the computer but can use the computer for editing (basic editing needs such as adding a little reverb)
-- Want to keep it simple the fewest # of components
-- Obviously the best sound I can get is the most important thing outweighing everything else (except using the computer as the recorder). Since I am recording classical guitar I would want a clean sound, no recording hiss, and enough input level (?) to get decent volume on playback.
-- Budget is between $1000 - $1200
Ok, some ideas I had included:
-- Stand alone recorder like the Edirol R-1 or PMD 660 with a decent stereo mic, maybe the Rode NT-4
-- Stand alone recorders/mixers like Fostex or Tascam...with a decent mic and/or better preamp.
Alright, so you have been hired...fire away! And thanks much in advance.
Cyril
