if you want a descent (SP?) setup, youre gonna have to spend a lil dinero




K.A.VI-- I would not recommend spending anything if its just for battling online. Only recommended to those that are really REALLY serious about their future in rap. Other than that, not worth it.

thats a decent setup. That mic is pretty cheap but i have it and I'm impressed with how good it actually sounds. But if u have the money i would invest in a better mic.

[~The~Prophet~]

thanks for the feedback...
is there any cheaper sound cards that will still be good or should i just spend the money on a rele good one? maybe should i get a less expensive card and better mic? and lol is zzounds best place to buy this ish?
thanks very very mucho

i get my stuff from musiciansfriend .. they have a good selection..i recommend a behringer b-2.. very ill for its price range..(150)

[verbal conflict]

u can get delta 44, which i think is 250$.. cause delta 66 is 299... that saves u 40... n get a behringer b2, u just add 50, but u got 40 from buyin a delta 44(which is very good also)....

[Opie M.]

dawg if you're really serious about your shit then save for each peice of equipment starting with the sound card. Get the best for what you wanna do... not the cheapest. You'll be a lot happier buying what u want the first time instead of going thru 4 mics, 3 preamps, 2 sound cards, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Merry Christmas

[~The~Prophet~]

Yea if u can afford it, get an omni studio.

[AlcaTrakz]

very nice card/pre

mbox also is nice (has focusrite amps)

.pz.

[~The~Prophet~]

lolol got another question... ok im gettin omni studio does this mean i gotta get a better mic too? and what do you recommend
im def gettin omni studio tho
thanks a lot for the advice guys i would have regretted not asking later

[Opie M.]

i have the MXL 990. I like it but there are always better mics than the one you have. I don't plan on getting a new one until I cop a high end one. You can't beat that mic for the price. If you plan on getting a really nice mic down the road I wouldnt spend too much more on your first one. If not, I would cop somethin better.
