Hi All,
Requirements:
To record some songs with an acoustic guitar at home, maybe ask a friend to join with a bass/acoustic guitar and sing as well. Will include video footage. Hope to improve on existing setup significantly.
Current setup:
Using compact photo camera. Sound is crap, hence want to improve on it.
Researched Setup:
1) SM58 for vocal
2) Yamaha Acoustic LLX6 (with pickup)
3) Echo AudioFire4
4) Webcam (with post record editing to merge video with sound)
5) Bass/Acoustic Guitar + additional mic + pre-amp (if my friend is joining)
SM58 is the workhorse basic mic for vocal. Not sure if I will need a SM57 for acoustic guitar, maybe in future.
Echo AudioFire4 is selected for its less problematic issues with Firewire (the other is RME but may be a bit too expensive). It is also firewire powered and supports Mac OS.
Please advice if this is decent enough for starter.
