Two things are mandatory
Audio interface and microphone
A good choice for an audio interface
Emu Tracker Pre USB 2.0 Audio Interface
Microphone
Depending on budget
Audio Technica AT2020
or
Audio Technica AT4047SV
Than again depending on a budget microphone preamp

there is a way playing software synths and other VSTs without using a PC at all
SM Pro Audio V-Machine Standalone Plugin Player Module
Download a plugin that you like into this mashine memory and use it as a hardware sound module. Great stuff!!!
Cheerz!!
Normally every mother board has 1 or 2 USBs that are located on it. All of the other USBs you find on your computer are extensions. If you plug the interface into extensions you have the described problem. Find the one that is on the mother board and the problem should disappear. At least it...
It depends if you want to mix outside software. Some people find it more convinient that mixing in DAW software (i like mixing with software). The other reason to have a hardware mixer is if you like the sound of the particular console (this is an issue only with expencieve mixers that really...
John, did you use tascam with XP, or maybe you had only USB 1.0 on your computer? Tell a bit more of your experience, I'm very interested.:confused:
thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I think this mic is very good to start with
Audio Technica AT2020 and its 100$ only.
You can buy some different mics from Zzound. Thay have 30 day money back warranty. You can simpli return the mics you don't like.

Hi there,
First of all USB 2.0 is not worse than FireWire interface, unless you occupy all of you USB ports with external harddisk and start copying files on them all simultaneously.
As for the interface I would recommend looking at this one
Emu Tracker Pre USB 2.0 Audio Interface
Cheerz!!!!
Hi there,

I would agree with you. And on AT 4047 also, very nice mic for vocals.
Mackie Onyx 1620i 16-Channel Premium Analog Mixer with FireWire Interface
Audio Technica AT4047SV
This is a veeery bad idea!!!
Do you have any distortion stompbox?
Try to play with it connected to your computer speakers.
Do you like the sound? I guess not. Now plug the stombox to guitar amp. Do you hear the difference?
The thing is that the speaker of guitar amp is specially designed to...
Hi there,
1. I have not comments on computer
2. PreSonus FireStudio Project for 500$
3. Why do you wnat to spend extra 600$ for the same preamps as you have in the interface? Where is the point?
4. If you exclude Presonus preamp from the list I would recommend buying two compressors instead...
I would agree with Bisson. You basically need two things - audio interface and a microphone. Plus headphones.
My suggestions would be
Audio interface
Emu Tracker Pre USB 2.0 Audio Interface
I think this one has a best price/performance ration. And the price is not high.
Microphone
Audio...
I'd recommend gettin two
Audio Technica AT2020
As you need two mics to capture the sound of acoustic - one infront of the "hole" the second is placed at 12th fret.
Cheerz!
Delays sometimes are good during live recording.
Check this one out

A good thing about this one that it can be fully integrated with DAW. So you have an hardware effect that is controlled from software like a plug in, that makes controll very...
I have a Line 6 GX interface. No latency problem at all. And PODfarm amp models are also very good. My favourite is Fender Blackface. It also sound nice with some hardware stompboxes I have. As a DAW i use sometimes bundeled Abletone Live. I like how FX control section realized on this. I think...
