I need the computer recording dreamteam gear

[scottdylan]

I'm goin to buy a PentiumIV 2.2 soon and have a acoustic Epiphone J200, a hollow body electric AriaProII and a Vox Ac30 Amp (lucky me!!! ) Also a large amount of songs waiting to be recorded properly. I need advice on mics, a mixer ( i thought of Behringer ) ,and the best computer Software along with SoundCards (someone told me Terratec sounded real nice). If someone, bearing in mind my situation and current gear (and also little money on my pocket) could give me some advice I really would appreciate it. Thank you all for "listening", either way.Keep up the nice work on the site! And have nice life, listen to music a lot and luck to you all.

Well the two options i considered were a delta 1010 sound card for 8 inputs of high quality ad/da conversion, and a mackie mixing board for monitoring control and good preamps. Then i found the Aardvark q10, which has a headphone output in it with a volume knob for it, a seperate monitor output with a volume knob, 8 inputs with high quality mic pres which i'm told are on par with the mackies, if not better in some ways. Plus it has high z inputs on 2 channels for doing direct in with guitars or bass.

It's got so many features for such a great price it's hard to resist for me. Especially because all i needed the mixer for was preamps and monitoring control, this does it all in one unit. It's about half the price of getting a delta 1010 and a mackie board, and still cheaper, or maybe the same price as a delta 1010 with a behringer board, accept the preamps on the aardvark don't suck like the behringer so you'd get much better recordings.

Sorry thats the option i was planning on taking. An aardvark q10, some Yorkville YSM1p monitors, a fast computer, logic audio with some high quality plugins, and a handfull of nice mics will give you a kick ass setup for home recording.
