is a alesis multimix 12 ok?

[dr. ozz]

Im new to the whloe thing so Im looking for advice I just got a used alesis12, for starting recording and some fun with my kids and my-self. I also have a jbl mrx 500 sub and a dbx 266 xl compressor. and behringer ep 2500.no mics ,yet. Where do I go from here (on a budget always looking for used gear) you got to start some time right?

I see this is a month old. But I thought it deserved an answer. I cannot say if the Alesis Multimix is good. However, concerning mics, I think everyone's first mic should be a Shure SM57 or SM58. The 57 is for instruments generally and the 58 is for vocals but they aren't very different. It's been an industry standard for years and it's the cheapest pro-quality mic you can buy. I think they go for $90-$100. Most engineers and musicians I know own more than 3 of these mics. You'll never get rid of it for something better.

Also I think you would receive more responses if you posted in this area:

Low End Theory

It's an area for small budget recording...

Hope this helps.

ok to start out with but when you get a little serious recording wise, ditch the behringer and get a mackie, the sound quality for recording is much better, I have tried both, mackei is just a better sound
