As of right now I have a very basic setup: Cakewalk software, stock soundcard (ESS Aleggro), Compaq Presario with PIII and plenty of memory, Shure SM58 mic.
I know I need better sound card, mic pre (preferably with some compression capabilities), and good quaity monitor speakers eventually. I also would like to stop having to crawl behind my PC every time I want to change from mic to guitar.
My question is which do I get first the soundcard or mic pre? And will the mic pre solve my input access problem (how does it interface wth PC and audio equipment ie mic and guitar)? If the mic pre does solve the access problem I will probably get it first. I have done research on the topics, but haven't gotten a firm answer in my head.
