Hi everyone this is my first in this section.I need some advice. I want to be able to do basic demos in the comfort of my home I already have a Pc, Keyboard, midi cable and producing software. I need to record my voice, not sure what I should get. I just want a really good sound so I can copyright my stuff and register them with my PRO before I pitch or do commercial recordings.Any adviced?

Oh my software Sonar 4 and Cubase 5. I know they are outdated but work well.

So I take it you'll need at least one mic and a preamp/interface? How are you currently inputting MIDI? Will you need to record acoustic instruments in stereo, as well as recording vocals?There's some good interface info here:http://taxi.proboards27.com/index.cgi?b ... hread=8793

I know they are outdated but work well.One way to get into an acceptable preamp setup is to upgrade to the Power Studio version of Sonar. Both versions have a decent hardware interface:http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/PowerS ... ult.aspHey, kill 2 birds with one stone (preamp *and* upgrade ). You might want to upgrade Sonar again in the future anyway so why not now? Microphones are another story. I suggest leafing through Recording Magazine for their mic reviews. Anybody else???Cheers,Al
