Hey everyone,
Thanks for posting if you do end up helping me out.
Well, I have a band and I aslo attend alot of concerts. I want to do both, mainly, when im with my band I record on my laptop. It ends up okay, but I need some equipment, definatly new microphones, stands and something to increase volume on the recording.
Can someone help me out by choosing some products (hopefully with a URL for Info or Buying) that would help me out to start recording on my laptop and then into concerts later on. I would hope there high quality, but at a reasonable price. I know a little information, but definatly not as much as you noids! haha
So please tapers, help me out!
Thanks
oh ive read through that, I also went through the forums to try and find some links (suggested searching)
but I really can't find any, buy it links, with prices, its just all talk.. im looking for some help on just setting up, a microphone, good stand, preamp into the laptop, thats what I want and I need some help with the products..
probably only like 100 or 150 towards the microphones and a 100 on the preamp, im just looking to go with laptop right now to record shows I play.. So I guess total amount would be 200 or so, maybe 300..
thanks for the search, did kinda help..
First thing to consider is - do you need a battery powered rig - or will you always have AC power...?
You can get a nice 6 to 10 channel mixer w/phantom for 100 bucks...if you know you can get AC...
yeah ill have ac power.. it seems like with just the mic plugged in, its real quiet and its hard to pick up cuz I have a somewhat shitty mic, also the mic in I think is like 1/8th inch.... mixer sounds interesting.. and thanks, I know my budget is short but im trying to start small..
Mics
akg c1000 check ebay. Around $200
Superlux h8 Around $150
Pre Options
You could get a UA5 from ebay, and digimod it $200
in your budget you might find a used vxpocket 2 by digigram

Beyond your budget, but def meet your needs.
If you go with a laptop, you can get a ua-5, doesn't even have to be digimodded. can do mics and sbd matrixes as well. $175 or so
Then a pair of superlux mics for about $135
bout your budget, ebay rules for these things.
that plus your laptop is a decent starting rig.
