It's a no brainer.
As for pres, what is your price range?
How many tracks do you need to record at once?
Do you already have mics?
What about pesky little things like stands and cables? |
I don't really have a price range, I want to buy good stuff the first time, so i'm saving up and buy as I go. With that said, I'm not looking to spend 3K on a Neve pre right now either. Eventually the high end things will come but I want good sounding gear for reasonable prices.
For mics, right now I've got 3 SM57s, and the band has some other microphones I'll be using until I get my collection going. We have enough to record now. How comfortable are you guys buying used microphones on ebay? I'm nervous about it cause what are the chances these guys switched out the internal components? I wouldn't know the difference!
We've got cables, need a couple more mic stands and clips.
