Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could give me the lowdown or provide me with the links on setting up a home recording studio. I have been searching around the forum, and been doing some researching online, but I haven't found any definitive answers on how to set it up yet.
I wish to record live piano. I have a minigrand located in a large living room, and my computer is a 3.00ghz, 1 gb ram with an sb audigy 2 card.
The microphone that I'm willing to purchase is one Rode NT1A microphone, since i have limited funds and don't know if I should buy another one. Now, from some research I see that that microphone needs a 24v or 48v phantom power. Also, my sound card has a 1/8'' plug.
All I'm wondering is what kind of cable do I need, what type of phantom power should i get, and whether or not there anything else that i'm missing from this list.
Thanks for the advice in advance.
