Huw Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 1 x Alesis Multimix 8 USB Mixersee with that multimix thing... can you record all the channels separately or does it just come through as one if you're recording more than one thing? i've been wondering this for a while.

Alan Cynic Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 More old-fashioned...Tascam digital 8-track, no drums (unless desperate, when an Alessis drum machine gets hooked up).Mikes etc going into an old Yamaha 8 channel mixer. (Mikes are a Shure SM 58, an ancient Shure Unidyne 545 and an A&H Shure copy). No EQ-ing as I don't like it.results are pretty crap, like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condenser mic that Stripey (RIP) recommended to me is an excellent addition to my very basic set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 umm... The cheapest setup yet! You take whatever guitar is at hand, plug it into whatever amp is at hand, then take another guitar lead plugged into the out socket of the amp and stick a 1/4 inch to 13 mm jack converter (like 1 from maplin) on the end and stick tht in your sound card. Then download Krystal (free mixing software, surprisingly useful considering) and tada! The same thing can be done for any instruments and mics using suitable pre-amps or what-have-yous.

FatHand Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 He was struck down only to become more powerful than you could ever imagine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm using:Motu 8 PreCubase SX3 with a Dell LaptopYamaha HS50M MonitorsSony MDR Headphpones (can't remember the model number, but they weren't cheap)Shure SM57Studio Projects B1 CondenserAKG D112AKG C1000'sI need more mics... could do with another SM57 and a couple of Tom Mics. I'd like one of those vocal booth things that SE Electronics do (there's a cheaper model on the market) and perhaps a Really Nice Preamp.
