can some people tell me like what type of mic in systems or other stuff
just hit me up in tell me
you tell us how much your willing to spend and we'll let you no what you need to make audio songs
really its not to much of a budget i mean like
cheap equipment - or used equipment
thats good but right now i only have about $ 300 all together 2 next month when i get my check
ok...well...what all do you have so we know not to reccomend something twice...?
so far I would say...
Rode NT-1A...$150 on eBay....
and thats for a microphone....tell me what all else you have and I'll try to reccomend the best that I can...unless your just seriously starting from scratch...
ok i'm starting from stracth
C i used to go 2 the studio all the time 2 my boys wanted to start R on so
its just from stracth
and o yeah is there any sites you recommand that has cheap equipment cause i want to start off small then get bigger
and o yeah is there any sites you recommand that has cheap equipment cause i want to start off small then get bigger
ok my computer is like kinda old to so i need things that work on it
its a Windows 98 GATEWAY Computer
ok..with the computer...Opey can help you...I dont know shit about computers...so thats where he comes in...but since you have a computer I would reccomend this...
first off your gonna have to save up some more...just wanted to get that out the way...
Rode NT-1 A mic...$150 on eBay
Sony MDR-7600 Headphones...$100
EM-U 1820 Recording Interface...$400 but you can prolly get it for 3 on eBay easy...
of course you gonna need cables and all that shit...but believe me...if you want good quality...none of this shit is gonna be cheap...so I suggest you save up at least 300 more....
and for websites...I got that...
www.sweetwater.com
www.musiciansfriend.com
www.americanmusical.com
those should help...I suggest you use American Musical and Sweetwater...they have payment plans and if you dont have the money up front...it would be a good idea to take advantage of that...
ok i called radioshack n best buy
radioshack- told me i might need some hardware in software
best buy - said i might not i might just need to go 2 there store
so whats up about software n hardware prices
go on ebay. you can get a rode nt1a mic for $150 and emu 1820 recording interface for $300. Then pm me for software prices. and i'm sorry but you're gonna need a computer upgrade. you're working with a computer made over a decade ago
see...my reccomendation game is startin to step up..I'm startin to recccomend the same shit tha Op says...I'm gettin there niggas.....
chea...
Ok you can get a Samson C01U mic for around $80 the mic has good quality and is for recording on computers just connect through usb port.Its not as high quality as the Rode NT-1 A mic but hey your saving about $70 so thats aight.Good Music software for your computer would be Sony Sound Forge 8 for editing and mastering thats around $200 or you could use something simple like magix music maker 2006 and thats like 100 bucks i think maybe cheaper.
^ dont listen 2 him u does not know what he is talking about
opey is the master audio head
word...I was about to say that but she beat me to it...
ok check this my sister has a
window's xp whats needed for that cause some dude told me a ACId program
so what store would i need to go to for makeing a system on WINDOWS XP a dell LABTOP
cause her system has
RECORD NOW
JUKEBOX
n
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
they all wont let me record no music in less its a way to do it
no...hell no...do not...i repeat do not...use those to record...they make software specifically for recording music...
Nuendo...Cubase...Acid...Pro Tools...Adobe Audition...
those are good ones...Adobe is mostly for beginning and then you work your way up...but those are the programs that you use to recods...not the windows media player...
and talk to Opey about computers...hes good when it comes to shit like that...
where do you reach him at
well...I call him...sometimes...but most of the time...ok...more than most of the time...I just send him a PM...believe me..hes good with his shit..he knows damn near everything there is to know about computers and audio equipment...he can really help..just send hime a PM and let him know your situation and I'm sure he'll do his bes tto help you...
Well to make a song all you need is a $8.99 microphone from wal-mart, a computer, adobe audition and an instrumental. To make a good song you're going to need at least $200 to spend on proper recording equipment, a DAW and a proper recording program.Quote:

ok but check this out ether my girlfriend said you can download ACID the computer recording program for free but she does'nt know the site
i have a logictech mic though it goes in the USB cable
so if i download ACID i should be able to make music right
in I AM i have $200 dollars more then that
yea...youd be able to make music...the quality would be shit.,..but nonetheless...you would be able to make it...
now...if you want better quality...you have to invest in better equipment my friend...
better mic...better soundcard..and definately a better computer....but Rul 1...dont record on a laptop...nt enough space and the quality will be shitty becasue its not many upgrades you can give a laptop...get a desktop...youll thank me later...
OK
you can work with 400 (?) dollars really you can but the laptop drop some specs
the problem with the laptop for recording is it costs WAY WAY WAY WAY more to get the same results. but i mean... the computer... buy a new computer man... atleast get a computer that was made this century. that shit's sad. even if you drop like $300 on a cheap computer youll be way better off period. not just for recording.
so in other words the computer i have now is not good enuff to make music on is it any way i can keep this one and still be able to make music on soundclick some body hit me back with a answer
go to digidesign.com and download pro tools free. thats about the only thing out thats optimized for a windows 98 system. u can try adobe audition but i dont know how its gonna run on your system. i can see you don't care about anything but getting sound out of the pc so its no use going into details about why u should do wutever. just try those programs with your usb mic and entertain yourself for awhile. you're not going to make good music period without good equipment and a faster pc.
just uppin this for people to give me good information
you ARE getting good information you stupid fuck
ethier take opeys advice...someone who knows what hes talking about and is the most qualified to give you answers to your questions....on this board...and in most of the stores youd go to..

ethier your serious about this...or you just wanna fuck around...stop wasting our god damn time with stupid shit like.."oh well radio shak said i might need""shut the fuck up.....opeys telling you what you need....fuck everyone else
when i tell you the nigga knows what hes talking about....the niggas best friends with his words.....
i'm not saying i'm not listen to him you dummy cause i did and i got the programs he said
i was just asking more people just so i could know even more about droping songz in stuff so

i forgot it was hidden in the support section of the site tho. my fault.
honestly... you're better off using your laptop but its gonna cost u a lot more for the same quality. you're gonna need something like an maudio firewire 410 for $300. really, if you're just recording and not makin beats the laptop shouldnt be a problem as long as u have the cash for a decent recording interface.
thanks OPEY for ur help but in 2-3 days i'm getting a hole new computer
then i'm gone get ACID at the same time
cause me n my brother in mom priced it
but we gone wait for 2-3 days to i get my check to pay for the insurance on it
