Hey everyone. I have been reading through tons of threads and I can't find what I am looking for. Everyone seems to be wanting an all out setup. I am not looking to make albums. I just want to be able to record guitar and vocals in my cool edit pro to help in the songwriting process. I have used just a pc mic...with ok "idea" sound quality. But I want to try and get better than the pc mic sound at least - so it will be a little clearer. Here is what I have and want to do. I have an SBLive soundcard.
Basically, ill get a shure sm57 (which ive read is a good mic for vocals and instruments both), i know ill probably need a pre amp. What is the cheapest ok preamp i can get? Will I have to get a jack adaptor?
I also know I shouldnt use the soundcard mic port for this. Which port do I use, one of the line ins??
Anything else I may be overlooking?
