Hi everyone!
I am new here so I hope everyone can be patent with me.
I current hope to do a some sound recording on my own without forking out a dime( My friend whose a sound engineer said his equipment costs at least 8 thousand US dollar
) I do understand of course a Microphone, computer, midi keyboard and soundcard is required. However, I am really doing something basic right now, and will only move on with better gear when I have saved enough.
1st) I intent to record Wind instruments( mostly brass ) so is a Shure SM 57 or AKG D40 sufficient?
2nd) Regarding the soundcard or an audio interface I have read about. Since I intend to move about to meet up with friends for recording sessions would it be better to get an audio interface or should I just get a XLR to USB connector( crappy Sound? )
3rd) I intend to get a Audio technica M50 for music listening and maybe alittle sound recording
4th)Is softwares such as Audacity( for recording ) and mixcraft ( mixing? ) sufficient?
5th) I just cant understand what keyboard I will need( most likely when I move into a higher level) Synthesizers, workstations, arrangers and midi controllers.
Thank you so much
