Hello to everyone on the Forum;
It as being quite while since I last participated in the forum
Must admit there have being times , when the last thing I thought I would ever do again (and there`s being quite a few)would be thinking about Music and in particular My old dream of finally putting together a Latin percussion set up,and hopefully taking some Pro-lessons in the USA/CUBA or elsewhere [to be decided]
Must be honest had to ask my self a lot of hard questions, as to would it be the right thing given my worsening health to pursue this dreamBut I am sort of semi convinced I should give it one last and good shot..It would be superb to achieve even a moderate sucsess in playing latin.
Now since I have being gone have noticed a few changes? and came across the ZOOM Q3 some may recall that I actually did purchase the Hn4 but I sent it back as my health worsened,so never got to use it.I have read a few posts on the forum and a few reviews on the Q3..and on the face of it sounds good? buy what do I know.so thought I would throw the question over to you guys.?
I will briefly run through the background and potential set up and your comments and further suggestions will be most welcome.The room I will be using is 3.5Mtr x 2 x 1.90 Highcurrently concrete bare floor to be wooden floored.roof already pine slats.walls thin wood.(maybe some sound proofing)if can be done simply and effectively) but not really a critical consideration(may not be worth it)there are only very small windows.will need to upgrade lighting.
I am intending buying quality Congas x 2 + Timbales + Assorted hand instruments,foot pedel maybe cymbals
can use a quality drum rug if advised?
But my main question revolves around recording my efforts (key words ) my efforts I am not intending to set up any kind of recording studio...so will try to keep it a s simple but still to a good standard as possible.
Before I received lots of excellent advcie re how best this should be achieved..from the HN4n to recording interfaces to using 4 matched mics OKTAVAS seemed a popular choice...
I still have my old Dell Studio laptop 32 bit so this will be the main interface I think and I could use CUBASE or similar.
but I would like to hear more on seperate interfaces and mics and weather I could get away with just using the Q3 without other mics? I am thinking of using the Q3 when I go for lessons so I can not only hear my efforts but see my technique,when with a pro teacher,small enough to pack up with tripod e.t.c.do not wish to buy loads of gear..but try to strike a balance if I can.
so any help advice very much appreciated..please list the options for me to look at..anbd give me your expert views on the best options to look at
all the very best for now
Regards Steve
