Hello All-
I hope everyone had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.
I am brand new to sound engineering, this site, and this forum. I am setting up a home recording studio for my kids (18, 16, 8) who are all active (and becomming more active) in music and recording. I play drums, kids play a number of instuments like guitars, bass, trumpet, french horn, glockenspiel, flute, keyboards, etc...
I am in the process of setting up a home studio and have purchased (so far):
Tascam 2488 Neo
Behringer DSP2024P Virtualizer Pro Digital Effects Processor
I would like to fully mic my drums (initially considering the CAD DMTP-7 Drum Mic kit. I am thinking I should mic my drums through a Behringer Xenyx mixer first, then into the Tascam as a single stereo input. But my main issue here is getting 7 XLR mic inputs into a cheap mixer for my drums (preferably with some effects capability) and out to one pair of stereo xlr outputs. I am thinking about Behringer Xenyx mixers with FX, but not really at all sure which one will meet this need or if that is the best way to do this? I REALLY need some advice on how to best pre-mix my drums to a single pair of stereo XLR inputs to the Tascam.
I am also considering the CAD GXL2200SP Studio Condenser Mic Recording Pack for voice and general studio mic. Are these good starter mics?
I have not yet purchased headphones, monitors, cables, stands, soundproofing, amps(?) general use mics, etc... I have enough knowledge so far to be dangerous to my bank account, but prefer to buy what we need to get going.
I would like the "studio" (fairly minor basement mods) to have a control room and a studio.
I know the questions I am asking are so very broad reaching, but that is exactly why I could use some guidance early on so I don't wander too far down wrong paths.
Any assistance, advice, and direction would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance-
Bruce
