Re: hardware: recording voice and acc. guitar

Don't disregard the delta 1010lt card. Onboard preamps are pretty  
good. Two balanced inputs. A mackie board (approx $100) will have  
preamps and phantom power.

I am using condensor mikes for acoustic guitar. I have two oktava  
mk-12s. They are inexpensive mikes but with surprisingly good quality.

For vocals, sm-58 is good. Better would be a large diaphragm  
condensor. The AKG 3000C is a budget end mike that performs very well.  
It showed very well in a comparison with much more expensive mikes in  
sound on sound magazine.

Remember that condensor microphones require phantom power. Often this  
is found on the mixer board.

This seems like a lot, but it is a setup that will make very good  
quality voice and acoustic guitar recordings. Ebay is a great place to  
find discounts on good audio equipment. Also, don't forget that you  
already saved hundreds of dollars on the software!

If you are looking to make demos or recordings that will eventually be  
sold or represent you as a performer, consider investing in good  
hardware!

That's my opinion. I could be wrong.
