Equipment for vocal studio
My wife used to teach at a high school that used an inexpensive
Audio-Technica mic (ATR-30) and a JVC CD-R deck (XL-R5020BK) to create practice CDs for voice students. The total price was under $500. Now that she's in private practice, she'd like to get some similar equipment -- but within the same budget, though I'm willing to spend a bit more if the results will be clearly noticeable. I've observed that musicians tend to pay more attention to the music than to the quality of the reproduction. Some of her students would be happy to get MP3s for their iPods -- which gives you an idea what level of fidelity is required. Her voice students range from wispy-voiced girls to full-throated dramatic sopranos and Ethel-Merman-class belters. (The men are neither as rangy nor as loud.) In another thread, Amy Krueger recommended SM-57s and -58s for a choir; would those work for this application? Should I get a CD-R deck, or are there RAM-based options now? One great advantage of the JVC was that it had a mic jack; that level of simplicity was nice, since she knows nothing -- and I know precious little -- about audio engineering. Thanks for your help! |
