Hello,
I've been searching around these forums for a short while and have found answers to some of my questions, but others still baffle me. What I would like to do is set up very basic home recording equipment in order to record acoustic guitar, vocals, MIDI keyboard, and upright piano for some decent quality sound. After a few days of looking into it, I have concluded the type of setup I want to have and just need some tweaking and advice as to what specific equipment I need.
As of now I have:
- computer (devoted entirely to recording)
- midi capable keyboard
- Acid Music Studio Software
The equipment I want to purchase:
- Behringer XENYX 1202 Mixer
- Two Shure SM58 microphones
- Two XLR - XLR cables
- One MIDI - USB cable for the keyboard
- Mic Stands
I'm on an extremely tight budget (as you can probably tell from the equipment) but I believe with some creative spending I can do this for around $200. I just have a few issues to deal with.
A) How could I connect the mixer to the computer to record (either through USB or a basic sound card) and what specific cables and hardware will I need for that?
B) Will this setup even work the way I hope it will?
Thank you very much!
Harry
