Want to record in my bedroom

[robmoth]

I want to be able to record drums in my room through a small desk onto my PC, but i dont know what to buy to do this, i have access to all the mics i'll need but i need something to send everything through and into my PC where ill be using Reaper.


I dont have much money either...

You'll need either a mixer to plug the mikes into.  Run one line out from the mixer to the line in of the PC to use reaper or whatever to record. Depending on the type and number of mikes and amount of money you want to spend here are some to dream about:

You can start small with 2 or 4 mike mixers being quite cheap and always use them for something else later or resell them when and if you step up. A 4 mike mixer with a mike on the snare, bass and two overheads can give great recorded sound actually or even two overheads only is not too bad.
Or you could record each mike on a different track but that gets expensive:

thanks for the reply mate, im looking into getting a Behringer XENYX 1222FX, found it on the site you gave the link for but there's a music shop about 40 minutes from me in UK which has one of these so might pop over and have a look into it, i'll let you know what i decide on,

all the best

Cool.  I still use a 1202 and a 1002 from behringer that I run into another Mackie.  They have served me well. Now the fun begins.
