I am a total newbie to home recording and love reading everyon'es posts.
I play a steel six string acoustic with no pick-up. Recording will pretty much be limited to this instrument and vocals. I will be using an Audigy 2 soundcard on my Pentium 4 computer for recording. I also have one Firewire connections and multiple USB ports.
I would like recommendations on microphones, mic preamps/interface, and recording software for a beginner that won't break my bank ($300-$400 range).
A friend who always shops at Guitar Center recommended an MXL990, M-Audio Audio Buddy, and Guitar Tracks Pro as items that fall within my budget . That same friend also recommended a Yamaha MG 10/2 mixer as an alternative to an AudioBuddy. Any comments on any of these recommendations are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
