Hey all! I have been lurking for several days now and the more I learn the smaller I feel. I started reading some info on tweakheadz as well as researching various products and my lack of knowledge and experience has me more indecisive than ever.
Simply put, I play drums, my friend is a guitarist and we want to record.
Current equipment list:
MacBook Pro with Logic Pro
A handful of mics (which will be upgraded over time)
Necessary instruments
Misc cables
What should I put between the mics and the computer? Budget for this is <$300.
Our main objective is to record the drums, guitar and vocals all at once, however we will record separately as needed. To start out with we plan to use (5) mics - three on drums, one on a guitar amp and then one for vocals.
Using my inferior intellect and audio recording knowledge base of a 2-year old I came to the conclusion that a Tascam US-1641 should get us going. From what I have read this unit would allow us record our (5) inputs and put them on the computer as individual tracks where we could manipulate them as needed. With (8) XLR inputs we have room to expand the number mics on the drums or even add a bass.
What would you suggest?
