Hi,
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to recording. I'm looking to get a small home setup to do demos, nothing fancy...mostly acoustic guitar tracks and vocals, maybe bass/keys, possibly drums. I am not expecting any flawless, but would like to have some recordings to catalog my writing and as a way to promote my live acoustic shows.
So far I have a Mackie 1402 mixer that I bought from eBay and have never used. I'm getting a MXL MXLV63M Condenser Studio Mic and a set of CAD CM217 instrument condenser mics. I have ProTools M-Audio with an M-Audio interface (very very basic model) that I also have never used.
As far as instruments I have a Takamine Jumbo Acoustic Electric and a Yamaha electric bass. That's about it.
I'm in the market for a new comp. Not sure where to go with this. I have a high quality set of Bose comp speakers and I'm also wondering if I need a legit set of studio monitors, or will these do for playback. I'm not dead set on using ProTools since I hear it can be confusing.
Any advice to get me going would be great appreciated. I understand this is probably a very frustrating endeavor and I'm willing to go ahead with it, I would just like to be pushed in the right direction before I waste $ on things I don't need.
