I need some help?

What Equipment do I need to do Audio?

Quote:

Question:

Alright, I know this has been asked 6000 times, but I can't find any of the threads that have answers.

1. What equipment do I need to do audio battles? Just a mic and soundcard? I heard something about a pre-amp or pre-mic ? All and all, I'm just really confused about the whole thing.

2. Which brand names do you think I should look at? I'm willing to spend around $200-250 Canadian, maybe more.

It'd be appreciated if you could help me out. I'd be happy to return the favour later on.

Answer

u honestly cant do much of anything for that much cash except buy a pretty decent sound card. its a start tho. u want a condensor mic and preamp. but u need a good sound card to interface it to ur pc. u can get a mediocre mic and preamp for about $175. If your on a tight budget i recommed the presonus blue tube amp and marshall mxl990 mic. u also need a stand, 2 mic cables, and a pop filter. go to musiciansfriend.com.

Try to keep your Audio questions in the Audio Assistance forum.

U can also find a preamp type interface that works like a soundcard here. that way you can get a all three vital components for just a lil over 200 and still have a decent setup for the pc. Of course your equipment is only as good as your software. If your into making beats, maybe try fruityloops. If you not too skilled with software, try something simple like Acid Pro 4.0. Everyone recommends cool edit, but i never liked it much. However my needs are kinda differnt from most.
