I am looking for a little basic information as I am beginning to set up my G4 Powerbook as a portable recording studio. Here are my parameters:
1) I want to record one stereo channel in very high quality. (I will be recording pipe organs in the Netherlands, for possible CD release). 2) I would like to use phantom mics, but am open to debate. 3) I would like to keep my equipment to a minimum so I am as mobile as possible. 4) no audio plug-ins or effects are needed. I am thinking that I can probably use the installed GarageBand, but I have my doubts about my sound card. Do I need to upgrade? What external hardware do I need besides mics and a stand? (Remember I'm only recording one stereo channel). Thanks for the help. |

the new presonus firebox is stereo with two phantom power inputs and two 1/4 inch inputs.
also comes with core audio drivers, and cubase sx. not my favorite application, but will do what you want and save you some money. i have a presonus mp-20 dual preamp in my rack, and i love it. the device (firebox) is really small (check out the specs www.presonus.com) i think that you will be happy with the quality. especiallly for what you are wanting. i think that the mics are the biggest cost two you at this point. checkout Audio Technica 4033's for mics. very clean and sharp sound. also check out senheiser boom mics. happy recording, editbrain |
