Actually this one is a better deal:
http://www.pssl.com/MXL-SP1-Condense...hone-With-Clip Every once in a while, the gods slip you a crazy deal. This is one of those times. No, I don't work for the company nor do I have any interest whatsoever. In general I don't really like MXL mics. I had one of my friends send me one 3-4 years ago, because he wanted my opinion on it. I was shocked. I've suggested it I don't know how many people and no one has reached back to tell me they were disappointed. Regards, Ty Ford |

I have used the Blue Snowball and Audacity for voice over work and it has worked well for me. I have also used the Blue Snowball for multi-tracking (into Garageband) with decent results as well.

As I mentioned earlier, we could give you more useful information if you told us how much money you intended to spend.

here's another vote for reaper as a DAW. you also can't go wrong with a MXL 604. it is inexpensive, has two capsules and sounds decent enough for home projects. you can always get a better mic later. or, Studio Projects makes some very nice LD condenser mics too.
eventually, you'll need a good mic pre. when you are ready, look into the grace 101, or 201. Last edited by dmoss74; 05-28-2010 at 10:57 AM. |

That Grace 101 may not be what the OP means by "simple and value priced". An ART Tube MP might be a better choice for a budget home studio.

I may be in the minority on this, but since I have no desire to keep any of my computers close to state-of-the-art (other than on the day they're purchased), I decided to do what little recording I do away from the PC or Mac. I had heard too many horror stories of latency problems in modest or otherwise unsophisticated setups, so I went with a Tascam DP-004 with its internal condensers. After recording and mixing on it, I plug it into the Mac and it's read as an external hard drive that I simply drag songs from.

Fitness, is that a Taylor or Larrive guitar on your recording, it sounds real good!

I think the preamps and filters on this unit is about the best a guy could want without going full blown studio. Seriously clean and responsive, even a couple of cheap condensers do an exceptional job, just a great interface for not a lot of money.

the chain is the key: acoustics of space>guitar>mic>preamp>A/D converter. I use good mics and preamps, an outboard A?D converter ands Digi 003 on a Mac. No problem. I have a nice sounding guitar and a good space to record in. The only inconsistent part is me. Oh, and player! Regards, Ty Ford |
