I run a podcast that is growing. I need to upgrade my equipment before our show hits the road in May. Currently We are recording with a PC and USB mics. It works but its not as warm and inviting as I would like. Plus we have issues with software sometimes. We just want to go hardware.
So below is my whole plan. Please take a look and give any advice. Thanks so much.
Mixer-
Behringer XENYX X1204USB- I wanted to go with this because we have a 3-4 man panel at times and I want room to expand if needed. I also like that it has USB. I always like to have as many options just in case.
Mics-
Here is where it gets tricky. I haven't decided on a mic yet but im narrowing down my search.
Main mic-
MXL V67G- I like the warm and deep tone that it offers. The price is nice as well.
Audio Technica 4040- I have been hearing how wonderfully built this mic is but the price is a little high for me.
Audio Technica 2020- More around my range but I noticed the low range isn't so amazing. At lease in videos ive watched.
Co-hosts-
They are not buying their own mics so they will deal with that I get them lol.
Audio Technica 2020
MXL 990
On the road mics-
I will use these for us standing around doing interviews and shows live from conventions and events. They are cheap and easy to transport and I wont be afraid if someone drops one or slobbers all over it.
Behringer ULTRAVOICE XM1800S
Digital Audio Recorder-
I want to use a recorder to record into for the podcast.
Roland R-05
With all this equipment I can make a better workflow and limit post editing. Please let me know any adjustments you would make to this list and any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
