Need a recommendation for an audio interface, mic, software
Hi, i wanna start recording my music, and need a recommendation for some gear. I do mostly acoustic folk, soft rock, slow finger style, maybe light strumming. I doubt it says something about the gear, but i'm looking for "warmth" in my recordings.
Audio interface: Budget is 500$, i don't have to use all the 500$, if there's something cheaper that suitable for the job, i'd be happy to hear about it.
I'd like to have the possibility to record both guitar and vocals at the same time, and maybe another backing vocalist with a separate mic. So its three inputs if its possible in the budget.
I Don't have any experience with audio editing softwares yet, buy i considered the Mbox2 because you get the ProTools software with it and most of the other interfaces doesn't work with ProTools (not talking about the newest version), so i get the privilege of using ProTools, of course that if i wont like it, i can always use anything else. Is it right to refer to the ProTools support as a parameter in my decision or is it not that important?
Vocals microphone: Already have a MXL 9000, new in the box, so if you think something else is better for me, i'm able so sell it and get another one.
I'm not sure if i need a condenser or dynamic - share your thoughts.
Budget is around 300$.
Instrument microphone: Do i need one? Again, i'd like to have the possibility to play and sing simultaneously. Don't know about the budget, But i think you understand the budget area by now.
Software: I would like to get a recommendation for the editing software as well. Maybe i'm wrong, but i think that the music i'm looking into (as described above) is rather simple comparing to dance or modern electronic music. So maybe there are programs which are better suited for different kinds of music. I would like to know what is better suited for my usage.
I opened another thread not long ago, but realized that i didn't ask the right questions.
Thank you
