Help with Computer Recording setup
Couldn't have said it better, thanks Schmange. You could go with the M-Audio interface and the MIC200 preamp and the soundcard if you choose. The M-audio has more than one input on it I believe. This would work if you don't want to use a mixer and only want to run the one guitar and one mic into your PC. I personally like the mixer..........

Can't I just save a bunch of money by unplugging the guitar and plugging in the mic or vice versa from the tube preamp when i want to record one or the other?
# 2
Sure! Don't see why not. That's what I did before I bought my mixer.

Would it be a good idea to get this instead of a new soundcard? That way I could avoid using the adapter to go from 1/4 to the size that fits into that 30 dollar soundcard. I would assume this would help the sound quality. I was thinking that I would run my condensor mic into the tube preamp with an XLR cable, then run a 1/4 guitar cable out the back and into this device, would I get good sounding vocals from this?

If you are talking about connecting the MIC200 and your guitar to the M-Audio device, the answer is Yes it will give you the best sound quality since you are recording USB and not into the soundcard. And you won't need the 1/4 adapter for your soundcard 'cause your not using it.

For a mic Reccomendation I 'highly' reccomend you check out the SE Electronics 2200
for the price (approx 100 quid) there's simply no better contender in my opinion
its very versatile, sounds great on acoustic guitars, vocals, pianos. check it out.
another option could be Joe Meek as they
are doing a promotion at the moment, if you buy a channel/pre amp from them, they throw in one of there mics for $50 so you can have a matching signal chain

You can get an NT1 for about the same money and it's one bad mutha!

Yeah the NT1 is a very good mic, and well worth investing in, but read this review cos funnily enough the rode mics get mentioned for comparison it ends up with Paul barret favoring the 2200 over his neumann u87 in a session
i know its all personal preference but it's just to give you an idea of what a cracking little mic it is.
The mic he's reviewing is the old version which I have,
they have brought out a newer better/revised model of the same mic now with an (a) prefix = 2200a

Yeah, I just bought one of those off ebay for less than $100 including the shockmount. First time I tried it I couldn't believe how good it sounded.
Especially on vocals and acoustic guitar.
For loud stuff like drums or overdrive I'd stick with a dynamic mic though, like the standard SM58 etc.

I'm sorry buda, I didn't include the link to what I was talking about.

If I ran my mic cable into the preamp then ran a guitar cable into that thing, would the sound be good? Would this be a better option then doing the soundcard thing?
