I'm setting up a small studio and need some expert advice here. A limited budget so need bang for buck.
Considerations:
Primarily voice work (not singing)
Under $250 (with shock mount)
I'm male with a moderately deep voice
Bonus:
Be useable for singing and instrument recording (acoustic and electric guitar amp)
The room I'm using is 3x4m with concrete walls. A PC (fan noise) will be 1m behind the mic but I can try double sided acoustic paneling to deaden the area down a bit. This may affect my mic choice however.
I'll be recording with a PC (Win7 x64) so I'll need something appropriate to do A/D conversion via USB2 or USB3 with a decent sample rate.
If there is latency involved then I would like to be able to monitor the mic and another couple of audio channels at the same time on my headphones.
Perhaps you could recommend a small USB2/3 mixer that has phantom power if I require it. A mic/metered preamp is another possibility. Under $200 for audio processing.
