The title said it all. Well, I'm looking to setup my own recording device. tongue.gif Hahaha. Actually, I just wanted to record my vocal + guitar sound directly to my computer.

So, microphone and guitar both connected to audio interface that connected to the computer thru usb.

The question it, is it enough for a fine quality audio recording? Any suggestion for audio interface. My current budget is below RM500. Thanks in advance. thumbup.gif


Or I just go for a condenser mic to capture both my voice and the acoustic guitar sound?

plenty of cheap options out there, ckmusic sells a few.

i suggest just buying the zoom H1 or H2.

Thanks. Since the recorder are as the same price range as a condenser mic, I prefer to get the mic. Or will the recording sound crap later on even with a quality mic?

only way to get a crap recording with a good mic is if the source is crap.

Thanks. But I do this for my hobby only. I needed my own setup, since I guess I'm gonna do it as frequently as possible.

since u r doing miking, i guess some background/ambient noise can't be avoided.

but the +ve side it will sound natural like someone is listening to you playing in ur room, unlike the DI method. smile.gif
