I saw Paul Gilbert and then saw Freddie and underneath that, the word QUEEN, and I almost crap my pants

Okay today I decided I want to buy recording equipment. I would like to record clean vocals and guitar amps with it(record the actual amplifier) and maybe piano, violin, bass guitar. I thought about a SHURE SM57LC so I would need a power mixer too?
Or do recommend me something else? I dont want to pay more than 250-300€.

I'm really sorry to hear man, but at least you're ok and nothing happened you YOU on the car crash. Of course 500€ is quite some money, but you're ok, that's the most important thing. And about your files, I hope the solutions innuenDO gave you work. And also that your bad times end soon





You both STFU and donwload Cool Edit Pro 2!

No.


Had it for a while,used it and uninstalled because i got tired of fucking Midi drums and since CEP2 does not include support for VST i can't use EZD with it. Adobe Audition which is basically CEP3 does include that but the software is so clumsy i got tired of it. Now i got Reaper and Cakewalk Sonar. I can't use Cakewalk yet because it does not support my soundcard

You can try a SM58. It's basicly the same mic as the SM57, but the SM58 has a spit screen/round grill.

I have no experience with recording piano or violin, but bass guitar is (live) normally recorded with a D.I. You can get a cheap behringer one for 30$ or so.

I'd go for Shure SM57, which I did, cause I ordered one last tuesday. It's an awesome all around mic, good for guitars, piano.. all those midrange instruments. For vocals you're better off with condensatormics, but they're a lot more expensive. The JTS NX-7 is also a great mic, especially for it's price, but at you're budget I'd go for an sm57.
A good mic for bass (and bassdrums) is a shure Beta52A

EDIT: And you don't need a powermixer but a preamp.

EDIT2: Most of the time there's a preamp built in the audio interface.

I have the SM57 aswell, but here's a tip coming from a Shure Employee (!): The SM58 is basically the same as the SM57 (see arvoitus) and if you take off the grill, it's very close!

Damn GuitariSteve, why are you doing this to me ...

 

[<-Warheart->]

I tabbed a song from this last night:

Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson - United States (2008) - 02 - Waste Of Time

I did it in about 4 hours without a guitar to help me with the notes.

 

[GuitariSteve]

Thank you! It sounds awesome! I'm sure I'll love playing this song!

 

[Muffin]

I wonder if jackson stars quality is the same now, as before

What do you mean?

 

[the phenom]

Well some parts have changed i see. No longer MOP inlays on some of the models and the Schallers=>FRT-O2000

Wow, very cool! The punk riffs would be easy without a guitar, but that the whole vocal line and the solos took you only 4 hours is unbelievable. Great!

 

[marfal66]

the FRT-O2000 is a piece of shit

 

[Ensi]

I'm thinking of buying the Ibanez XPT700 Xiphos. Only issue I have with it is the sparkle color

 

[marfal66]

Well it's also available in black, but I don't like that either, looks damn cheap. And the EgeIII is also a big -1 to me.
