I am just starting out trying to get a basic, inexpensive recording system on my G3 Mac. I am running OS 8.6, 350 mHz, 256 megs of RAM. I have a Yamaha CD burner with Adaptec Toast software. I just want to record some voice and guitar. I have been told to get a Shure SM57 microphone and plug it directly into my CPU, then use the Free Pro Tools software. Does this sound right? Should I get a mixer or will the free Pro Tools work okay by itself? Any advice anyone can offer would be most appreciated!

A condenser would be the best choice, but then you need phantom power to get it working.
Here's a decent $300 set up: Behringer makes a 6 channel mixer with phantom power that you can get for $70. Several major manufacturers make good $200 condenser mics. Add mic stand, cable and other wires and connectors. You can route your G3 sound out to the mixer (say channels 5 & 6). You can input the mic on 1. The mixer has a mono aux send from channel 1 that you can route to your G3 (on the left side of a stereo connection). Now you have a zero latency monitoring situation with your mixer if you mute the channel (in Pro Tools FREE) you're recording on. Cheap and effective. |
