Hi. I've got a Tascam 414 and no decent mic. I need to record material by tomorrow. Short term is going to be Vox and acoustic guitar only (maybe some percussions). WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE IT SOUND GOOD? Long term I'll be getting a vs-1680, sampler, and dive into project studio proper, and so I don't want to buy something that will be useless later (Roland tends to be everything in a box). Here's the emergency shopping list:
- AKG c1000s
- Art Tube Channel (I've been told the Art dual MP has "noise problems"... true?)
- Lexicon MPX100
The Lexicon is what worries me: Will the vs-1680 and all its integrated cards cover reverb as well? How necessary is the Preamp? And what about AKG's need for Phantom power? What do I get to cover that? My main problem is I need some decent sounding stuff by Saturday or I'll miss a HUGE opportunity... So I'll be using the Tascam. But I'm breaking the bank to get the mic, preamp and fx (reverb), so I need it to be a wise buy. Please help! Thx.
