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. |

MrModern,
for that price, you might want to consider spending the extra 60.00 and looking at the Edirol that I mentioned: Edirol UA-25 It's features quite out-perform the card you mentioned. And it is still quite a small (hand-held) box. It allows you to have phantom-powered, mic-cable inputs, output at +4dBu with Quarter-inch outs... ready for monitor speakers, etc... built-in analog limiter, etc, etc. check it out |
