New toys

So I went on a little shopping spree today. I’ve been saving money from my tax rebate, 2006 work bonus, and regular savings in order to get some new toys that I can use for both the church and for my own business that I’m trying to start up. Well I went out today and bought a few of them.

First off I got myself an Alesis MultiMix16 Firewire mixer along with some Shure SM58‘s so that I can do better sounding podcasts as well as ADR for videos and voice-overs and such. My favorite part is that the board will plug directly into my MacBook Pro so I can record multi-track. Hopefully we will be able to do some real recording with Refuge and get their stuff out there in the not-so-distant future.

And to go with the new sound equipment I bought myself a Canon HV20 High Definition camcorder. I’m hoping that we can get some real good production out of this little camera and the new audio recording equipment.
