Need A Phantom Power Mixer

[KempoMRK]

I want to get a Rode NT1A mic, but I don't know what mixer to get with it.

I want something fairly cheap, just basically so the mic will work.

Thanks to anyone who can suggest something.

If you're gonna be taking this recording shit seriously, I dont recommend the nt1a unless you have a really good preamp or mixer or something.

Him saying he wants a "fairly cheap mixer just so the mic will work" shows the quality he is looking for...
And the nt1a is an alright mic.

[RiQue]

How much are you willing to spend? You have to let people know your budget.

youdon't need a mixer if unless your doing like multiple inputs for some reason get a preamp instead.

try a digitube.
if you really want a cheap mixer which I don't suggest... go yamaha

[Brandon Heat]

if you aren't using a computer... go with a yamaha... or mackie... any cheap one will do... if you are using a computer you don't need a mixer... you need a preamp... such as the presonus tube pre... it's 100... and word. however lmfao@flight... the nt1a is a great starter mic... if you're taking recording seriously... it works with very cheap equipment and it works well... word...

Cool, thanks. The presonus tube pre looks pretty good, I'll probably get that.

What other equipment would I need after I buy an NT1A and this preamp?

[koss]

pop filter cables mic stand

for now thats it if you dont have it

[KempoMRK]

^ Yeah I've got those. What type of mic clip would I need? I've got a Shure mic clip at the moment, would I have to buy a different type?

[Brandon Heat]

you don't need a mic clip... it comes with a shock mount...

I'd say screw the tube pre personally and just get the Rode NT1A along with a EMU 0404 USB audio interface (soundcard and preamp all in one). Because ur definitely gonna need a soundcard if u happen to be currently using ur stock soundcard.

Check that out, emu puts out great quality products.

[KempoMRK]

Aight, thanks Brandon.

And quiet, yeah I'm using my stock soundcard. Would the quality be worth £55/$100 more if I got the Emu as opposed to the tube pre?

[Brandon Heat]

this is me being honest... no. it'll be roughly the same... but you'll be able to do more with the 0404 then the tube pre... headphone jack... actual controls... monitor outs... midi ins outs... so get the 0404...
