Qn: Mics in Home Studio

[Phanto]

Hi, ive got my own small homestudio and basically i need a better alternative to plugging my mic into my guitar amp to sing thru, which ive been doing for the past half year.

I dont own a PA system or monitors, but what do i need to purchase, so i can line 2 mics in and be amplified? monitors? Mixer?

Need some recommendations.

cheers.

a recording interface such as FW 410 from maudio.
cost about 600? you could get it from sinamex.

i dont need to record anything, i just need a output speaker and a mixer to control volume, and other gimmicks? maybe reverb and sensitivity etc

you need a PA system.

1. mixer
2. amplifier
3. speaker

the actual model/brand will depend on your budget

so the question is, "What's your budget?"

 

[Phanto]

500 bucks~ for all.

i just need a really simple setup, which gives me some good control over volume. im not using it for outdoors, just indoors, a small 5m by 3m soundproofed room. For 2 mics. Not interested in recording.

cheapest alternative :
those loud gamer PC speakers altec lansing or something..

a mixer enough to put the amount of mics you want.


mics > mixer > pc speakers. jack them up. haha.

Okay my budget is now 700 dollars, Any recommendations for a simple 2 mic setup mixer and speakers for my home studio?

I think if you are playing acoustic guitar and sing at the same time, a AER acousitc amp will be good. I personally try before at CityMusic, most of the AER amp come with at least 2 input channels. It have good sound quality surely.

Or maybe you would like to get a simple 4 channels passive mixer, and plug into those powered computer speakers. it will be the cheapest solution you can find. but in sound, every cents count.

PM Series Portable PA System

get a closed monitoring headphone and get a low noise mixer with at least 4 channels for your spare channels. If you need recommendation you can always pm me but remember get something cheap and good if not you will spoil your own recording.
