Can I record vocals and acoustic instruments with RiffWorks?
From Guide
Yes, you can record vocals and acoustic instruments with RiffWorks.You just need the appropriate interface device and microphone.
While devices like GuitarPort and StealthPlug are great for electric guitar and bass, products like the Toneport UX2, PodXT Live, PreSonus Inspire 1394 and FireBox give you vocal pre-amps, mic inputs and line level inputs. These are fantastic for vocals and for micing acoustic instruments as well as recording from external gear. You get more functionality, hardware ins and outs, etc.
Quote from Randy, our Customer Service Director, "I tend to stick with the trusty PreSonus FireBox for the bulk of what I do. I think most of its lure comes from the fact that it's aluminum; it weighs a ton for its size and has real knobs. It's sexy."
Advice from scot on our Forums: "The Shure SM58 is a real 'workhorse' mic. It will cope with most of what you're probably looking to achieve with vocals and instruments (although primarily vocals) - and at a reasonable price too. The SM57 is another great all-rounder but better aimed at recording instruments. Make sure you record with a fairly 'dry' signal and add any fx post-recording."
