Hey guys, first post here.
Me and a friend have been messing around with DAWs for awhile now and have recorded a few songs on his MXL 990 which is hooked up to his M-Audio interface.
I'd like to get more into producing my own beats as well as having the ability to rap over them.
What would be a good starter mic for hip-hop vocals? I've been researching and found that condenser mics are much preferred for studio recording, correct? I've also found that a lot of people say that the MXL 990 has great sound quality for the price. True enough or am I mis-informed?
Also, I know that if I get an XLR mic, I will need something to power it (w/ Phantom Power). Would an audio interface work well, or would a mixer be more appropriate and useful? I really have no idea as I am quite the noob, but would love some help on the subject.
I know this question or questions like it are probably asked a lot, but I searched the threads and surprisingly couldn't find much.
Thanks,
JayBurd
