I suggest buying a pre-amp, something in 300 dollar range can fit your goal. (Depends how professional you wanna be here)
Something like Presonus Channel Strip or ART PRO MPA 2 fit that category, or ART DPS II or ART TPS II pre amps are in the less money category.
Then obviously you need an XLR cable that goes from the mic into the pre-amp.
Another TRS cable that will take the pre-amped mic signal, and send it into your MBOX 2 interface (for example), that goes into Pro Tools.
If you are going to be mixing, you need decent speakers, if not then you can stick to headphones.
Don't know what budget you are operating with man. I can name things on and on, it's just a few things for the beginning. |
Ok, that sounds like more stuff then I thought I would need, but can you make it it a list of things I might need in order, not spread out. Like this
1. You need this
2. You need this well
Like that, so I can look for that stuff and such.
Also I am not using pro tools whatever that is, like I said I'm using cool edit pro, but it depends on what pro tools is but ultimately I want to use software for my computer to help me record, that's my ultimate goal, and i want it to have the best sound quality possible with a lot of options.
By the way, I have 900 extra dollars i can blow, so if you could give make a list of things I might need in order and maybe the price right by the thing that you listed, that would be much more helpful, this is all very confusing to me
