Not necessarily…. …
Not necessarily….you’re not gonna want to get a mic in the first place, unless you’re on a budget. However, I do agree with you on the Preamp thing. But you can go get an interface that have good mic pres and not sweat the preamp thing. You know, like those M-Audio FireWire interfaces with the built-in Octane Preamps. Get one of those babies and worry about a Preamp later.
dude can you plese …
dude can you plese help me man im tryin to make music
If you can’t tell …
If you can’t tell the difference between a high end and a low end preamp(sound wise), it’s pointless. Technique is more worth than gear quantity/price. If you don’t know mic techniques and placement, you can make (just a example) a 3 grand U87 plugged into a Chandler TG 2 sound worse than a good placed AT2020 plugged into a Tube MP.
I should say acoustic treatment is way more important than gear, but that’s not the focus point here.
replace a drum with …
replace a drum with a machine? good luck getting something decent that is truly on par with a decent drummer and good miking
don’t get into this …
don’t get into this nut!! you can cover a big pallete of sound by just having a Dynamic (SM57/58, Audix i5, Sennheiser MD427, etc…), a big diaphragm condenser (Rode NT1a, Audio Technica AT2020, etc…)and a small diaphragm condenser (Shure SM81, Rode M3, etc…), and adding other microphones to cover your needs later on.
I would argue that …
I would argue that the Preamp in a studio is more important than the microphones, i don’t care how bad your mics are, if your running them through a tube MP, you’r not going to sound very good
Yea its about the …
Yea its about the mic…and what about procesors or smth?you can’t just pluge in your mic straight to your pc can you?

)
Get a Rode NT-1A for vocals. ($300 on ebay)
Get a Shure SM-57 for guitar amps. ($100 on ebay. They sell em in 2 packs aswell
Drums = Superior Drummer 2.0 Software by Toontrack. All i can say is once you find superior drummer you won’t need to d*ck around with recording live drums and superior 2.0 sounds F*cking amazing.
Bass = DI Box. Or mic up an amp.
ALSO learn about PLUGINS!
Hope THis helps
Windows users …
Windows users should look at Pro Tools Software. Pro tools is an industry standard Costs around $300 for Full Pro Tools 8.
Pro tools 7 is a cheaper option and still functions very well.
Pro Tools LE is for the M-Box interfaces.
Pro tools M-Powered is for M-Audio Interfaces.
TIP: Pro Tools will not fire up unless you have an interface plugged into ure computer.
(PS: an interface is a hardware box that will sit on ure desk with mic inputs on it that plugs into ure computer thru USB)
