How would this be
Im gonna be saving up soon for a setup, I just wanna be sure i know what to get so I was thinking
M-Audio MobilePre USB Portable Audio Interface For 150 Yamaha MG10/2 Stereo Mixer For 100 Emu1212m For 100 AKG Perception 200 If I hurry on this one I can probly get it for 100 from a friend.. but if not 150 What should I be getting for cables if anything? and is there anything I should be changing from there?\ Somebody told me mixers was something i dont need, is this true? |
if you get the mobil pre, or any other interface for that matter, you won't need the mixer or the soundcard.
its either or, not both. and if i were in your shoes, i'd get an m-audio fast track usb instead of the mobil pre and spend the difference in a better mic. and go for mogami wires if you can afford em or monster cables if you can't. |
So I shouldnt get the soundcard if I get the M Audio?
edit: nvm thats what you said, tthanks what mics would you reccomend? |
with the money you've already got earmarked, the sterling ST55 by far. it's a knock off of the Groove Tubes GT55 which i use, just that it's made by the same cocksucker that designed my mic!
if it existed at the time, i woulda bought it. trust me |

Thats it? If so, Its only 50 dollars more then the AKG Perception 200 one is on MusiciansFriend.com anyways, which is cool. Thanks, at least im not gonna waste money now.. Which is usually what I end up doing |
Okay one more question.. Do I need a phantom power supply?
|
depends in your interface has one built in...
if you get the fast track pro it costs more than the usb version that apexx suggested but you will have phantom power for your mic |
well the M Audio one said it had it built in I think let me check again...

Is that what i need? |
yeh you'll be fine with that
so which mic you planning on getting? |
sterling ST55 is what im getting, the one apexxx reccommended till I hear its horrible, he said it sounds like his though, and yeah. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...-Mic?sku=271356
|
dont get the m-audio mobil pre. it's 16bit. the fast track is 24bit.
and yes it makes a difference. |
|
you can get a fast track and phantom for way cheaper than that.
about half. unless you record with 2 mics at once, that's useless. |
any phantom power supply will work? will the one I pick affect my sound at all?
|
nope. all phantoms are created equal.
|
Just being curious, what do you record with
|
GT55 FET, groove tubes PF-1 pop filter, crap wires i had since my mxl 990, rolls Mic Power 1 phantom, (oh shit son...rolls phantom!!) fast track USB and Garage Band.
|
Alright then thanks
|
lmao... you can get a much better set up easily... but don't get that m audio mobile pre... you're wasting money... the noise floor is incredibly high...
the emu 0202 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...face?sku=240552 is 10x's better... phantom power and all that other bullshit... and the Sterling is ok... but... it's what 200... this is in my opinion better... it's not as harsh... and it works with more voices... the mic Apexxx has would shit on both but this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...-Mic?sku=270427 shits on the sterling... but then again... what the fuck do I know... if you need headphones... get sony mdr 7506... get for midrange headphones... flat with great bass responce... |
