Hello. I want to start doing some recording of my guitar tracks but i want to spend money so i can expand my recording system and I don't want to but something that i will sell later on.
Right now I have a Line 6 Pod 2 for recording guitar tracks and I have a few guitar amps. For near future (college years. Im graduating this year from HS) I just want to record high quality guitar tracks over some backing tracks, so I don't think I will need anything that I will need a multi channel mixer or anything like that.
First the soundcard. I've been eyeing on a M Audio Delta 1010 for X Mas/Birthday present. Is this a good sound card for recording and is it versatile (hook it up to mixer etc)?
Would I need a mixer or a preamp to hook it up to a mic for recording from a guitar cab? (Im planning to get a shure 57 for recording guitars)
Is it possible to plug the microphone straight into the soundcard such as the delta 1010?
Also is a studio monitor speaker system neccessary or is it just a luxury to have? Can i get decent sound from studio headphones? If so what are some good headphones?
Any other suggestion for sound cards? Im looking for a 400 to 500 dollar range. Also willing to buy used from ebay.
Thanks for reading this long post and any answer would be appreciated.
PS. Great forum by the way.
