| FloatingGoat | Hi | 04:51 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | FloatingGoat: hello | 04:51 |
| FloatingGoat | I'm a very ameturer musician. | 04:52 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: cool... welcome to the channel | 04:52 |
| FloatingGoat | Thanks | 04:52 |
| FloatingGoat | You ever heard of the mxl 990? | 04:52 |
| FloatingGoat | Its a mic. | 04:53 |
| holstein | yup | 04:53 |
| FloatingGoat | What do you think? | 04:53 |
| holstein | im not a big mxl fan though | 04:53 |
| holstein | but, they have some resonably priced gear | 04:53 |
| holstein | i say, save your money | 04:53 |
| FloatingGoat | Oh, I'm planning on getting it but I hear you need more equiptment | 04:53 |
| holstein | for not too much more, you can get quite a bit more quality | 04:53 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: a preamp? | 04:54 |
| holstein | you have a preamp? | 04:54 |
| FloatingGoat | Sounds nice! What do you recomend? | 04:54 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: for a preamp? | 04:54 |
| FloatingGoat | No I don't. Don't have a mixer. | 04:54 |
| holstein | you might want to consider a mixer, or a preamp, or some interface with a preamp or preamps on it | 04:55 |
| FloatingGoat | No for aa good mic. I might go to my local.seco.d hand music store.for a preamp | 04:55 |
| FloatingGoat | Sorry I'm on my phone | 04:55 |
| FloatingGoat | I was wonderung what you recomend over the mxl | 04:56 |
| holstein | the sure KSM27 is a nice mic for the $$ | 04:56 |
| holstein | nice entry level mic | 04:56 |
| FloatingGoat | How much? | 04:56 |
| holstein | i like the rode nt1000 i have, and ive heard the rode nt1a's | 04:56 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: depends | 04:56 |
| holstein | i would expect to spend $300 on a decent mic | 04:57 |
| FloatingGoat | Wow | 04:57 |
| holstein | otherwise, just get whatever 80 dollar mxl you find thats cheap | 04:57 |
| FloatingGoat | I'm an am though so I peobs won't even use it right when I get it | 04:57 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: do you have a mic on the computer then? | 04:58 |
| holstein | why not just use what you got? | 04:58 |
| holstein | if you find a used one of those mics i mentioned, you can resell them for what you pay | 04:59 |
| FloatingGoat | I want something that sounds good. Well at least the mxl would sound better than what im using now. http://ubuntuone.com/p/1AAK/ | 04:59 |
| holstein | if you buy an MXL, thats a paperweight, or something you have to give away | 04:59 |
| FloatingGoat | Ill think about it | 04:59 |
| holstein | sure, i mean, thats what you came here for right ? :) | 05:00 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: you might want to consider your environment | 05:00 |
| FloatingGoat | Yeah and to.talk.about different things. | 05:00 |
| holstein | think about recording with 2 seperate mics | 05:00 |
| holstein | or, record the guitar, then the vox | 05:00 |
| FloatingGoat | That's actually jot a bad idea | 05:01 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: if you can, take a look at the way a studio would do it | 05:01 |
| holstein | if you go to a studio, and pay $100/hour | 05:01 |
| holstein | they dont put one shite mic near you playing and singing | 05:02 |
| holstein | they have maybe a few mics on the guitar | 05:02 |
| FloatingGoat | No I.don't want to do that. I really.just go.with the flow when I play I get into a funk. That doesnt happen wuen I record.seperate | 05:02 |
| holstein | and one really nice one (or more) on the vox too | 05:02 |
| holstein | you dont *need* through gear at your problem | 05:02 |
| holstein | i would suggest trying to get the best results with what you have | 05:02 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: so, if you want to record them together | 05:03 |
| holstein | you need 2 mics | 05:03 |
| holstein | minimum | 05:03 |
| FloatingGoat | Yeah thanks man. My buds in another server saaid that it sucked.cause my mic did. | 05:03 |
| FloatingGoat | Ill.try it. | 05:03 |
| holstein | ive been wondering if these are worth anything | 05:04 |
| holstein | http://www.cascademicrophones.com/cascade_V57_Gold.html | 05:04 |
| holstein | pretty sure they are crap | 05:04 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: that mic sounds like the mic is where it is | 05:04 |
| holstein | and you are doing what you are doing | 05:04 |
| holstein | that mic will have limits of course | 05:05 |
| holstein | but, that could be a really nice mic, and you still wouldnt be happy with the results | 05:05 |
| FloatingGoat | I gotta get better im a noob. And do.you recommend any good.piano.sound files? Loke.for.lmms or rosegarden. Like acoustic piano | 05:06 |
| holstein | i use pianoteq | 05:06 |
| holstein | its not free... | 05:06 |
| holstein | you could ask for soundfont advice in #opensourcemusicians | 05:06 |
| FloatingGoat | Free as in beer? | 05:07 |
| holstein | im more of an acoustic guy | 05:07 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: pianoteq is not free in either way | 05:07 |
| FloatingGoat | Howa.mucha monies | 05:07 |
| FloatingGoat | And ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| holstein | FloatingGoat: i would suggest trying to find some free soundfonts | 05:07 |
| holstein | and put that money elsewheres | 05:08 |
| holstein | i use it on ubuntu | 05:08 |
| holstein | they have a linux version | 05:08 |
| FloatingGoat | #opensourcemusicians | 05:08 |
| holstein | sure... those guys know more about soundfonts than i | 05:08 |
| FloatingGoat | Oops | 05:09 |
