Hi Guys
Don't ask me why but I have a hankering to attempt to record my drumming using a better setup than my iPhone camera and mic. I've never used a mixer or sound editing software in my life.
So here's the thing:
I'm considering buying a XENIX Q802USB mixer at about £65, a few cheap mics (possibly four Pyle-Pro PDMIC78 at a total of about £56) and some mic stands at a total of about £40.
This all adds up to about £160, plus a bit of shipping.
I'd use GarageBand on my MacBook to do the recording/editing.
Yes I know that this isn't gonna be even close to a pro set-up but do you guys think this would be OK? Surely it has to be better than the iPhone?
If there's a better way for a similar budget I'd appreciate anyone's input.
Many thanks.
