hmmm, i thought i had posted a reply last night, guess not.
its not that i'm against making great tapes, its really that i just want to be able to get into it all now, not later. with the equipment i'm getting, i'll be able to record shows with only spending a little less than 300 bucks. mic's are only costing me 30, cause a friends hooking me up, i know there not the greatest mics, (i think they are nady cm88's,)
then the stand and the mounts, shocks and all that. then a friend is going to reformat and partition the laptop, which is a pII compaq presario.
so yeah, its going to be a decent set up, not a great one. i'll work up to getting a great one.
