I wanna surprise my singer-friend with some "starting singing home gear".. Any tips?
So. I have a dear friend who's an artist, and very good when it comes to singing, but she doesn't have any studio setup at her place. Not even a mic... (her previous bf cheated on her and sold all her things and even her music). And since holidays are coming up, she's living by herself, and i will only manage to see her once before the holidays kick off, so i would like to bring with me a few things for her. Maybe a mic or so.
What kind of "starting" gear should she be getting first? You know, as an okay starting point to have at home? Price range for each item = $100~400, depending on what equipment it is, of course.
I know that she'd most definitely love to record her own music at her place, but i also understand that to do it even semi-pro will be costly. But yeah, just some things that will get her going towards the right direction would be great.
She does have good acoustics at her place, so the environment and the studio is solid and all, she just doesn't have any gear to go with it...
Like, which mic should she be getting? Kindly list some alternatives so i have more to choose from. Which audio interface? Anything else she'd need..?
I apologize that i am asking for a lot here, but i hope there are some souls who can help me with this matter so i can at least give her a nice end to 2020...
