Re: New to recording, please help!!
Hey welcome to Drum Chat!
Here's what your gonna need:
Digital Audio Workshop ( DAW) software
A USB audio interface to input to your computer
Mics (see below)
As far as mics go, it's slightly complicated. I don't know what your budget is,
But keep in mind that unless you have a separate mixer to run into your interface, your Interface will need have the same amount of inputs as your mics.
basically number of mics you have= how many channels on the interface you'll need and that equation = cost. Since your just starting out, I'd suggest not spending too much money, so here is my suggestions.
M-audio Fast Track (new about 130 and comes with software, or you can get it used for around 40 bucks with out software)
Audacity (free DAW software, good to get your feet wet with
4 channel P/A mixer (cheap if you buy used)
2 condenser mics.
2 mic stands.
1/4 male to XLR male ( for connecting the mixer to the interface)
2 XLR female to XLR male cords ( for the mics)
I'd suggest monoprice.com for the cords.
Eventually you'll want to expand your mix collection,
So I'd suggest a shure beta-52 kick mic and a shure beta-57
