Hi there,
I'd like to update my recording chain and am looking for some suggestions.
Here's what I currently have -
Logic Express 7
SM58
PreSonus Firebox
Ordinary cheap pair of headphones
Samson Rubicon R5A monitors
iMac 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB SDRAM, OsX 10
A room, 25 x 15 x 10 feet, with a wooden floor and concrete walls.
Here's what I record -
Myself singing folk music, and my solid body dreadnought acoustic guitar.
What kinds of condenser mic would be suitable for recording acoustic and vox in my room at home? Maybe a dedicated mic for each, guitar and voxs, is the way to go.
I currently use the reverb and compression that come with Logic. Perhaps these are weak points in my chain, what do you think? Would you suggest an outboard compressor and preamp? If so, what models should I look into?
I also plan on getting good tracking headphones.
So, I have between 500 and 1000 dollars to spend. What improvements might I make to improve my recordings?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Barry
