Hi, I was recommended to these forums by someone on the Krank forums, actually. They said that people here would know a lot about recording, etc. I'm a real gearhead when it comes to guitar equipment, but when it comes to home recording, I am kind of stumped.
I'm in the process of moving, and in my new home I'm making sure I have enough computer/desk/recording space to mic up my cabs, acoustics and even vocals, but I would like some suggestions on where to start. I was looking at items such as the Alesis Firewire 8 multimix mixer. But then I heard someone telling me that Presonus' stuff is pretty good, which I would believe.
If I get a mixer, I would need help hooking up a pre-amp, and if I get those, I need getting all of that product onto my computer.
I think basically what I'm looking for is a device to go into the computer, and a preamp. As long as these components won't cost an arm and a leg, (I do understand that if you spend more money, you'll get better product) but I'm not aiming to be a professional producer. Just something I can put down and master and make sound excellent as can be.
Oh yeah, software, I would like some suggestions on that too. Any good drum simulator software, etc. I would go an ask the guys at any music store, but they're looking to make commission, so of course they're going to steer me in the wrong direction.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
