ge0rge007 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hello all ! Thanks for the great help until now (with your helpfull posts) I need your help for my gear. I have started some radio shows at a web radio station. The quality is mp3 64kbps mono and i am recording here at home (no studio). I can spend about 200 euros / 256 USD for my gear and i am really confused! I have an Behringer UCA202 audio interface already so i could use it. Until now i was thinking about buying a Ld systems LAX5 (the new model comes with phantom power) mixer so i can connect it to my Behringer card. For the mic i was thinking about a Heil Pr-20 . I have read so much stuff and now i can't decide! Is that better to buy a audio interface like Tascam Us-122 or Art tube with no mixer ? Or should i buy preamp only like this ART TUBE MP and connect that with my sound card? I really don't know much about microphones either but as i have heard the heil are great for podcasting at that price. As i have mentioned i am not recording at a studio so i would prefer a mic that is not so sensitive to capture much "room noise". Any help will be really appreciated! Thanks for your time anyway:) (sorry for my pour English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arfa B Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 My advice is to hunt around and buy some seconhand cheap analogue gear- and use some free software on a PC via the input jack. That way, you will have at least a good starting point, and grounding to build up from. Spend as much as you can on the mixer & mic- and add acordingly. You can get good s/h mics at a fair price too! ALL my gear is analogue, not one USB interface in sight- and it all sounds great! Just my approach- not trendy, but it all works brilliantly. You can get a copy of Cool Edit Pro 2 for about £10 s/h -worth EVERY penny! If I have helped you with a Freebie- please be kind enough to add a link from your own site or blog to mine- thanks! http://arthurburton.net Thank You!
