well I got mom back at Minnesota but I don't want to bother her with stupid music making nonsense music gear :) she hates it when I waste my time on anything but getting married
hey
I've been spending hours trying to find somewhere to buy an audio interface online but almost none ship internationally.
do you know of any who does?
ok, so these are the recommended audio interfaces we have so far:
* pod studio UX2 (line6)
* Yamaha CI2 (comes with “Cubase Essential 5”)
* Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
* M-Audio Fast Track Pro
* Tascam us-1800 (out of budget, try to find it second hand...)
* PreSonus AudioBox USB
any more ?
cubase 6 or cubase 5 ? I see Steinberg/Yamaha CI2 comes with cubase 5("Cubase Essential 5") : Start : CI2+ Advanced Integration USB Studio | http://www.steinberg.net/
ok, easy one:
there is an input in which you can plug either XLR or 1/4" jack? a "combo" input?
I'm familiar with the XLR input in which you usually plug a microphone.
I'm also familiar with the 1/4 inch jack in which instruments are plugged in, an electric guitar for instance.
but there is a...
I play guitar, keyboard and sing.
want to record my stuff on my computer. nothing too fancy, I won't be having people doing pro recording at my bed room which is my "recording studio" at the moment.
english is not my first language, and it kinda sucks, so I'm here to ask questions in order to...
Hi
I'm starting out with my home studio.
I want to record electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocal.
each one at a time. not simultaneously.
to my understand I should start with an audio interface which a basic.
what I need from an audio interface:
# 1 (maybe 2) XLR mic inputs and 1...
thanks for the recommendations, I'll make a thread requesting recommendations for an audio interface and in that thread I will list features I need.
I think that would be best.
thanks but the question is not "which" interface is right for me but what should I be looking for at the specs of an audio interface to make sure the audio interface I'm buying has a reasonable mic preamp built in it? are there different types of built-in audio interface preamps ?
oh I forgot, I already decided to buy a new mic (i'm thinking the shure sm57 or sm58, they are XLR - right ?) so forget I mentioned the c606...we are talking XLR input
ok, let's forget about phantom power for a minute.
some audio interfaces have built-in preamps, right?
ok, so I want an audio interface with a built-in preamp, strong enough to boost the signal of a c606 shure mic with minimal noise.
(I know there are preamps as a stand alone unit - those I...
I really want to find a sticky that answers if an audio interface has a certain amount of signal boosting, but there is so much info and links to more info on those stickies that I can't find what I'm searching for there
hello
I read somewhere that shure sm58 microphone is actually the shure sm57 microphone with a pop filter ?
err....so if I remove the pop filter out of the sm58..... I now have a sm57 in my hands ?
in an audio interface - are there other ways an audio interface boost the signal of a mic other than "phantom power" ? what are they?
what should I be looking for at the specs to make sure the audio interface I'm buying has a good mic pre built in it?
you meant "Many, but not all audio interfaces will have preamps built in." , right?
so basically, any audio interface that has an XLR input means there's a microphone preamp in there and in addition if it has a "48db+" button or a "phantom power" button on it - than is also has phantom power?
