Hello everyone
I've been watching these forums for a bit while i've been trying to get together my own little home recording station going on. I'm almost done (I think) so I'm getting excited and I wanted to know if you guys think I'm on the right track. And also I have a couple of questions for ya.
Here's what I have so far.
My PC has:
intel dual core E6300 1.86gz processor
M-Audio Delta 1010LT
Nvidia 7950GT video card
external 320gig firewire mybook
2 gigs of DDR2 ram
Other gear:
2 Rokit KRK-5 monitors
Yamaha RH-5Ma headphones
Samson CO1 condenser mic
Shure SM57 dynamic mic.
M-audio Blackbox
I think thats it.
I still havent decided which recording program I am going to use. I'm currently trying the demo of pro tools, sonar, and acid. I just installed my delta card recently and have ran into some trouble setting it up so I havent really gotten to see what my sound card can do yet.
What I want to be able to with my setup is this. I am a solo musician who plays mainly guitar. I don't play drums so I dont think im ever going to need to record more than 2 tracks at a time. I'm mostly just going to analog record stringed intruments and vocals. And maybe record mono with my old Casio LK-56 keyboard.
What do you guys think of my setup so far? I think I only need a mixer and a DAW now. Can you guys suggest me mixer for around $200-$300 to meet my needs? And I'm still very new to DAWs'. Acid 6.0 seems to be the easiest interface to get around for me, but I hear its more of a looping program than anything. Should I go with that? or something more analog recording driven.
and lastly, I'm going to be double micing my acoustic guitar. Since I only have 1 dynamic and 1 condenser mic... would that combo work? Or should I fork over for another dynamic mic.
Thats all I got for now. Thank you guys in advance
