Looking to record and burn CDs of myself playing grand piano, classical music. Want to have good results but not spend a fortune.
Piano is in my home. Just bought 12" Powerbook. Considering Griffin iMic or Powerwave. Thinking of Microphone to Mixer to iMic/Powerwave to Powerbook. Have CD Spin Doctor from Toast Titanium package. Not a professional so don't need professional results but don't want to waste my time either getting crap results. Any suggestions? Am I on the right track? |

QUOTE (dmrkh @ Dec 31 2003, 15:46) Synthetic, where were you when I was wasting my money? I've gone from imic to powerwave to revolution 7.1 to a Formac Studio TVR! I'll stay here since inputting video is inherent in my dream "job" (dj/vj). The rev will find its uses, but that Griffin crap with its everglowing bluelight in the basement motif is headed for my little bro. umm.... let's see.... where was I? dunno but I am sure if I had seen a thread that said "imic - good or not" or similar I would have tried to advise against though  the idea of the VJ thing really interests me too since I am professional visual artist and music is just my hobby  one of the coolest things I had ever seen was a 2 man multimedia band based in Califonia I think... it was a white haired older guy and younger man. They did some really wild live multimedia performances with really bizarre but interesting music in sync with 2 projectors that flashed words and imagery... was really entertaining and wish I could remember name of the band. I seen it on a music DVD featuring indie and less know artist. They said they were able to make enough off their music and shows to do their music full time which to me is just awesome  I would like to get a digital projector to run off my laptop and maybe use something like Arkos for doing a show with my own music but they start at about $2000 dollars though  Maybe one year when I quit buying music gear, computger gear, and motorcycle equipment
