I'm loving this list, and have been lurking for the better part of a month or so.
A quick bit about me, why I'm here, and a call for help.
I'm a vocalist and didgeridoo player. I'm not a musician (yet...), but I do have an "ear" and thanks to the wonders of technology, am finding I can compose sound layers on the fly.
I'm ready to start buying my own gear, and am wondering what you more knowledgable fellows would recommend as an initial set up.
My plan is to practice in preparation for doing live sampling and performance of vocals, body percussion, and didge loops in a small club environment.
The didge has it's own miking issues, which I won't get into here.
I would like to know what some of you would throw together as an equipment list. I'm looking for bargains and performance, not perfection.
I would like to be able to record as few as 4-5 tracks, and upwards of....I don't know. Are 10-16 tracks too much to ask as an upward limit?
I would like to know your favorite brand of mid-priced performance vocal mikes.
I would like to know if any of you have experience in miking internal body sounds, such as throat mikes for glottal stops/back beats, or similar.
Finally, and this is perhaps the most appropriate for the list, what you all would recommend as a looping device. I'm watching the performances of Keller Williams, Dr. Didg and others for live sampling ideas, but I would certainly enjoy hearing the collective wisdom of the list before I go out and start spending money.
