Enchilada
Strange person.
This is my first post and its long winded
I'm starting my own little recording setup and this is what I have in mind. Remebrer that everything in Australia is rather expensive. I'll be recording Australian hip-hop with the music coming from my computer and vocals rapped. Also punk rock (drums, bass, 1 guitar and 2 voices). The vocalist in this band sounds like a cross between Ben Lee , Ben Folds and Thom Yourke.
Mics:
Either a Studio Projects B1 ($199) for an all round vocal/accoustic guitar/amp/drum overhead/the works mic
or a MXL V67G ($180 imported w/ shock mount) for vocals/drum overhead and a Shure SM58 ($149) for accoustic guitar/amp
Pre:
Behringer Mic 200 ($129)
Begining of a rack:
Behringer VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P ($275)
Behringer BEHRINGER FBQ1502 ($229)
Behringer COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 ($244)
I know everyone likes to bash Bheri gear but I've hear nothing but good things about all of the above. I think that that isn't a bad start for $1100
After that I'm not sure how I want to record it (suggestions welcome). As long as it doesn't involve a PC. One thing that I can't understand is what is the point of a mixer, like the fabulous Bheri UB1024? Unless I'm just doing live recordings or lots of mics on drums whats the point of 6ch in and 2ch out? I've been looking everywhere but I can't find anywhere that really expleins the point of a mixer when all the recorders I've looked at have a mixer built in.
A mate of mine has a tascam 4-track taper recorder so I'll use that for now.
