Needing advice on organs/synths
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 3:59 am
What's something that isn't ridiculously overpriced, isn't overly massive and can get me Bright Eyes like organ/synth/random chorus sounds I can strum my guitar along to after some looping/etc. is added? I just recently got a Rode M3 and I'm also looking for a decent recording setup to go along with it.
So basically.
1) What will get me organ-like sounds that probably isn't an organ 'cos they're usually the size of a single bed (slight exaggeration there)? Micro Korg do the trick? I really like the look of the Moog Little whatevers but that's like $2k! I don't really want to spend over $500-600 and the Micro meets that but I'm thinking that might be a bit too 80s and not lofi enough/too crisp funk sounding?
2) What's a decent enough mixer/interface that'll be able to record acoustic (mic'd), whatever-synth-I-end-up-getting (direct? mic'd?), electronic drum kit, drum machine, etc etc.
I want to create lo-fi music on my own but I've never ventured out of acoustics (I only recently got into electrics!!).
