OK you experts, I would really appreciate some advice.
I dug out an old mic that I'd forgotten I even owned. It's at least 20 yrs old. Not a bad make but possibly not suitable for recording? It's a Shure 588 SA which is apparently high frequency whatever that means. Any ideas?
Failing this what is a acceptably good mic for recording vocals only. I've read some of the recent recommendations but don't know if I can currently justify spending 200 bucks on a mic. Surely there must be a reasonably cheap alternative. I'm not going to be making a really pro recording - for reasons of inadequacy singing, musicianship and production-wise.
I would obviously also benefit from an audio interface and Boydie's recommendation of the Focusrite is clearly a good choice but again can anybody recommend a cheaper alternative. I won't be doing anything fancy as I don't know how. It's just for vocals really though I guess I can plug my e/acoustic into it?
Hopefully one day I can get better gear but at the moment I'm working on a strict budget and would appreciate any helpful tips.
I understand that you may not wish to recommend stuff which isn't top quality but there must be cheaper alternatives for us poor amateurs!
Thanks
Ian
