Greetings, everyone,
I'm a first time poster to this board, and I'm kinda lost. I would like to start recording at home (play the drums and guitar) and I would be recording guitar (both electric and acoustic), drums, and voice, probably using phantom musicians to fill in on bass and piano, etc. What do I need to get started? Here's what I've picked out so far:
PIII 500MHz computer/128Meg RAM/CD Burner (have this already)
Good recording sound card (need help here)
Shure SM58 Mic (good choice?)
Good vocal mic (need help here too)
This should be enough to get me started. I have Cakewalk 8, but are there better programs out there for recording digital audio? Also, do I need mic preamps or anything of that nature? As I said, I'm new to this. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
