I'm looking to buy a microphone set for my girlfriend for Christmas, she plays acoustic guitar and sings - recording both using only a laptop mic. I'm sort of strapped for cash, but this being our first Christmas together - I definitely want to impress.
My background lies in video production and post-production, I'm afraid I don't know much about recording sound.
I certainly know I want to get her the MXL 990/991 Recording Microphone Package. However, I don't know what exactly will be needed in order to plug all of this into her laptop to record. It seems to me that I'll need to buy the necessary cables, but there's a 'Yahoo! Answers' post that has me a bit confused.
The quote about this package says:
'This is a good package because it comes with 2 condenser microphones and an audio interface. The audio interface will act as a 2-channel preamp with +48v phantom power (a requirement for most condenser microphones) that interfaces with your computer as assignable inputs.'
What exactly does this mean? What else would need to be purchased in order to plug both of these into a laptop to simultaneously record guitar and vocals?
Thanks so much in advance for any help anyone can offer.
