I've been strumming forever and singing alone or with others in church, but have not done any recording. So, I got the camcorder out this week and recorded myself singing some mellow folk stuff with my Eastman AC812 OM guitar. Well, I guess it sounded rather natural, I got no help from the mic in the camcorder, it sounded quite terrible.
Even what looks like a home recording in a living room on youtube, often sounds professional, as if they are in a studio. But if they are recording live, they can't be putting the voice and guitar thru a mixer, can they? I guess I'm looking for some very basic recommendations on equipment I might pursue to buy. For example, a youtube clip (playing D-55 and singing) he says he is using this stuff: Mojave MA-200 tube microphone; Neumann KM 184 small diaphragm mic; SPL GoldMike pre; E-MU 1212 soundcard's converters; Sanyo Xacti FH1 camcorder. I guess I need tto go to the Guitar Center and learn what this stuff is...
:shock:
