Ok my current set up uses an Analog Mixer (Phonic MM1002) a Condenser Mic (AT4040SM) and Soundcard (M-Audio Audiophile 2496)
However when going to record today, my mixer's adapter has managed to shatter... there is no explanation as I was out, came home and it's broken... nobody home, nothing but a cushion anywhere near it and on a super soft carpet. Maybe it's a sign to change gear? lol
So now I'm at a crossroads, maybe a Mackie mixer or maybe move to a Firewire/USB Interface that has preamps built in? I'm heard good things about the Saffire range.
So should I switch to an interface or buy a new mixer? My budget for a mixer is about £100, an Interface would be around £150 (as I'd sell my current one that's been used for all of 3 weeks).
Any suggestions? and if it helps, the recording is purely vocals on a single mic.
