Ok then.
I need recommendations for:
Hardware & Software samplers that are affordable but effective?
Microphones for DJ & Production use that are also affordable but effective?
Thanks.

Depends what u wanna use the mic for.
If u got a decent soundcard, u can't go wrong with something like Kontakt, Halion or MachFive (all software)
Mic will be used for 'sampling' vocal and surrounding sounds. In other words for production and DJ use. Any recommendations???
So does software samplers do the job as good???
shure sm58
yes
:evil:
What's that?Quote:

Jim & Basil: What sampling instruments do you use? You think I go with the direction of software as I am a beginner?
Never heard of Shure, any good?
With samplers, you need a mic either way dont you? To record your sounds.
Errr
Sampling with a mic?
That`s recording with a mic.
You can use a mic to record sounds around your home, and to record your voice and instruments.
A sampler doesn`t need a mic. It depends from what source you are sampling from.
I`m confused.
I am only new to the production side of things. I know to you it might sound stupid or confusing in this case, I am trying to set a boundary and set myself up with a plan on what I need to produce the way I want to.Quote:

Well, I would thoroughly recommend the M-Audio Luna. Large Diaphragm condenser mic.
It`s versatile, but very good for vocals in particular, having a nice warm vintage sound, and is on a cheap offer at turnkey.co.uk
If that is over your budget (£100)
Then go for the shure SM58
As for sampler?
Well, I would suggest an audio editor, such as soundforge or wavelab, to process your samples.
And I would suggest a package such as Fruity loops, initiallly as it has built in sampler/sequencer and audio sequancing capability, and works from beginner evel to pro fairly well (as a lot fo people here would attest to)
Awesome stuff. Thanks DirtyBass.
Lets say for example I wanted to use vocal samples or vocal snippets or sounds in that matter through real time with the mic whilst I am recording, is this easy to do?
