jscoin Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I am wondering what is a good set up for someone who wants to start out recording. I am a drummer, and i was thinking about starting out with a kick mic (the seinhesser kick mic forgot the number the e-series), a snare mic (shure sm57), and a overhead condenser (shure bg4.1). is this a good set up to start out with? Now what about a mixer? what is a good but cheap mixer to start out with? and to hook the mixer up to the computer i need a analog to digital coverter and a new sound card, i dont know much about that so any ideas about that????? thanks a lot, jscoin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix stein Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 How much money total do you want to blow? I would just go to a studio and be done with it. You could still be ahead and have your demo done...no hassles, you and your band just concentrate on your music. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1642605905 Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I believe in killing 2 birds with one stone as far as mic choice goes!If you're like me,with limited resources,you may want to consider buying mics that will excel in both the studio and on stage. Mic choice and placement greatly depends on the overall sound you're going for as is obvious if you read some past threads on this forum! Times are changing and the deired sound of popular music is changing along with style of music!Research some of your favorite artists and learn what mics they use and their placement techniques.One place to start is on the Shure website.Their "artists" section lists all of the mic choices for particular sound sources of many artists. Without knowing what style of music you play and on what level, it would be a futile effort to give any recommendations at all! good luck ian* ian* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 There is a fairly in-depth discussion on mics here: http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000330.html Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
