I am looking to start up a home studio, nothing crazy, i am receiving a macbook(black book) 2.4 ghz 2 gb ram 200+ hard drive room.
I own 2 dynamic microphones, one is an audix OM2, the other is a cheap coby microphone(dynamic).
I am looking to use Pro Tools but i'm afraid to purchase the mbox 2 deal due to all of the difficulties stated.
I think that might be the best way to start however.
I am looking into purchasing the Shure SM57 for a good mic to have around, and something to record some random odds and ends like brass and acoustic guitar with.
Should i purchase a seperate interface and then purchase Pro tools standalone? Im working with around a 500 dollar budget for an interface and program.
Also i was wondering sound card wise, i couldn't just buy a seperate pre amp and then get pro tools, their is a certain quality of sound card you need for that correct? I was looking at the M-Audio DMP3 if i could somehow just buy a preamp to go directly into my computer.
I also would like to know how my keyboard gets connected to my interface, along with a guitar, does it go normal chord as you would plug into your amp straight into the interface? or is there and adapter that i would have to purchase.
Mainly i am asking about the interface and software, is the mbox 2 a solid choice?
Thanks for all your time,
it is truthfully appreciated.
Im sorry if this comes across as silly questions
By the way i'm stamos and it is a pleasure to meet you all.
Best Regards,
Stamos
