Guitar and Mic recording interface

[dms120]

Hello guys,

 

When i want record something that i do i use a normal camera to record it, the qualitiy is very bad, so i want to buy something that would allow to record things professionaly, but i want the chepiest possibly! :D

 

The basic stuff to record voice and guitar at the same time. I know that are interfaces that allow to do that, with different inputs for guitar and mic.

 

I dont have a mic too. So i want suggestions about cheap equipements that i can buy. Interface and mic.

 

Thanks, and sorry for the english

Have a look at Audacity, it's free. Behringer Guitar Link is another good option. My mic came out of a cereal box :P

But that Behringer Guitar Link just has one imput :( i want one for guitar and on for mic...

 

I found one used Tascam US-144 mkII for 60 euros, it cost 120 on stores.... someone has an opinion about this interface?

 

For the micro i was looking for this http://www.thomann.de/pt/the_tbone_sc400_grossmembranmikro.htm i guess is a good option, i dont trust on the cereal boxes :lol: i have alot of cheap mic and they are bad, but maybe because i just connect them directly on the soundcard... with a interface the quality boost up i guess.

It may not be your mic that's bad - are you in a proper recording space? If it's just an ordinary room then you'll get some hissing through the mic.

My mic coasts 10€... but yes, i use it in a ordinay room xD

Well if you give audacity a shot you can take a sample of the noises you want to eliminate and then it will be removed from the entire recording :cool:

I guess will not be enough, the quality was really bad :laugh3:

 

But i will buy a used material

Hi mate, when I record i have a few things, I use a laptop software called reaper which is amazing. you can download the demo and use that from their site here:

 

http://www.reaper.fm/

 

Believe me I have tried Cubase and Pro-tools but this is ace. Try it.

 

Then I connect laptop to M Audio interface, cheap i got mine second hand off Ebay.

 

The mic I use is SM58 for now. To be honest they are good gigging mics and if you know about Bono he has recorded in the studio with them for years.

 

They are about 80 to over 100 quid. check ebay.

 

have a listen some ideas i did here bud give you a view of recording guitar and vocals.

That one is me playing crappy spanish guitar and singing at the same time with some overdubs on the vocal and guitar.

same again.

 

hope that helps bud.

Damm, that's great, i cant sing like that, you're great seriously.

 

I have bought the things i said above, yes i hear about the shure SM58, but for my budget right now was impossible, and i made a great deal anyway, tou can see reviews of that mic anywere and against sm-58 is not so inferior.

 

And i was thinking in m-audio too but as i said for my budget i guess i make a good deal.. i paid 80 euros for things that cost over 170.

 

Yes i will try reaper, but i have a really old slow pc right now, the laptop has broken, i am using audacity to learn the basics and cause he is really light.

Ya give reaper a go bud. It's free anyway. They let u use it and the trial period never runs out. It's very light on PC processing power too.

i will try it, thanks for the tip. Audacity is simple but i will probably will need something more complex, i wanna learn :P
