Hey guys, I'm a guitar player, and I'm planning to getting into this whole home recording thing. However, I am rather lost as to what I need to get. However, I DO know that I want to go with the micing my amp route.
So I was thinking at first this setup -
mic > mixer > line-in of soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS)
However, since I will only be using one track for now, I thought that I should just go with a mic preamp as opposed to a mixer.
So if I go with a preamp, would I be able to run this setup?
mic > preamp > line-in of soundcard
I was told elsewhere that instead of running into my soundcard, I should go from the preamp into an "interface". What does this mean?
So basically, what would be the optimal method for my setup?
Thanks on the front end,
Wade
