The SM57 clone is a Pyle and I use that at the practice spot for getting the first set of rhythm tracks. I could live on a desert island with the E906 for recording guitar tones. I'm limited to a SM57 clone and my Sennheiser E906. There's a lot of guys here who have used a LOT of different mics.
I think most new interfaces have a 192 kHz rate, but to my ears, this thing sounds clear enough and works well. Everything is 24 bit, but I think the sample rate is 48 kHz. I use the interface for everything else once it's loaded in GB on my Mac). It works well, the mic pres are awesome, and about half of each song that I've recorded so far has been done through the Blackjack (we use a Tascam 2488 Neo to record drums, bass, vocals and one set of rhythm tracks.

Processor speed will be important but honestly, RAM is going to be huge (I have 16 GB on my PC and on my Mac).

I was running Reaper on my XPS Desktop before going to the Mac and it worked great. Take all of this with a grain of salt as I know next to nothing about this stuff.

For software I've been using Audacity because I'm passingly familiar with it. Focusrite scarlet seems to be the go-to for interfaces as in you can get that and no one would tell you you're wrong. I recently bought the behringer u-phoria 4 channel, but haven't heard any issues with the cheaper ones too. If OP can get away with 8gb-16gb of ram with a 128 ssd for the process, then store saved files on an external, I think $600 would be enough for that. Hopefully someone can chime in on the laptop I run big orchestral templates and needed a bunch of RAM and an SSD drive so I had to spend more than you’re looking for.įrom what little I know about this stuff, it seems a gaming PC would have been the way to do due to ram and SSD. I’ve been using mine for like 3 years, no issues with it.

I’m not gonna be any help on the computer itself, but Reaper is free to use besides the ‘buy me’ prompt that lasts for like 5 seconds, and the Mackie Onyx Blackjack is a solid interface for a cheaper two channel. I'm just looking for a midrange laptop that can run a DAW that will let me record and playback simultaneously and perhaps a two channel interface to plug into.
I don't need anything terribly intricate or complicated, and I'm not looking for all the bells and whistles by any means. Which interface should I get? I'm going to be recording myself by myself, and sound quality is not of great importance durability and price are.īasically, I'm starting from scratch knowledge-wise and I don't want to put my money into the worst stuff possible. Which DAW should I use? Free is always best, and I'd like to have something as simple as garageband (which conflicts with my anti apple stance) to use. Which laptops should I be looking at? I'm going to limit the price to $600 and give a hard no to Apple anything because I irrationally hate them. 'm starting with a microphone and a cable, that's it. I'm also justifying this as being "for school." Unfortunately, I don't know where to even start. I've decide that I'm a big boy now and that I deserve a laptop and an audio interface to record demos of myself. So I've been using a boss micro BR (small digital 4 track) for years to record stuff at home by myself playing all the instruments layered on top of each other, but I can't be bothered to fuck with that awful little thing anymore.
