gimmi your mic!
Hi guys & girls --
I want to switch from desktop to a mobile laptop recording setup. I will only record one thing: me on my tenor saxophone. I already have a fast notebook (Alienware Sentia notebook, 2.4 MHz mobile Pentium processor 2GB Ram, external 400 GB firewire/USB drive). No need for a high-end setup because I only want to share my music with friends. Unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a 6-pin powered FireWire port but only a 4-pin unpowered FireFire port. Guess this means that I need to user either the USB2.0 ports or the PCMCIA sockets. As expected, I am on a very tight budget.
Any recommendations what I should get?? Please keep in mind that I want to be highly portable and only need a stereo input. I also want to get a SDC condensor mic since I had great experience with that on saxophone. I do not want to get a bulky mic pre, so the interface should have a decent pre built in.
Thanks for your help!
