All the mic suggestions are great btw chaps! Remember tho this is a bang for buck request ) |
well if you're trying to get by with the bare minimum, i'm probably gonna get ripped on for this, but just use your mackie pres to start off with. get some mics first. as for mixing...are you going to be mixing on the mackie board or are you gonna fly the tracks onto a computer and mix ITB? if you are gonna mix on the mackie, do you have any outboard gear? if mixing on th mackie, you'll need some comps, gates, and a reverb or two. if you're gonna mix ITB, forget the outboard at first and do all the processing during mixing. after you've got more cashflow invest in more pres and outboard. i forgot to suggest dbx 160 before... great compressor and cheap too.
