hey everyone!

im buying my girlfriend a 'beginner' home recording setup for christmas and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this gear, specifically the mics, before. im pretty new to all of this, but she wants to get into recording and engineering. i would say my experience is somewhere between basic and intermediate. i have played guitar for years but never recorded.

if you want to comment on any aspect of the setup im getting her, here's the gear:

mics: sm57, sm58, mxl2001 & mxl603 (the last two came together in an anaversary pack i got for a hundo based on someones recommendation on here)

mic filter: Nady MPF-6

mic stands: two stands for like 20 a piece, one is a 'low profile' for mic'ing her guitar or an amp.

mic chords: 2 50' xlr's

preamp: CME Xcoropio I Orange

monitors: Behringer MS16's

MIDI controller: Yamaha kx25

i want to give her some different mics to play with and get an idea of some different sounds, and a setup that she can add new gear in different places when she wants to. she plays guitar, drums, piano and sings, so i think this will allow her to explore all these areas, with the exception of the midi controler, which is more for riffing/chords because she can just mic a real piano if she wants to record that.

thanks in advance for all the input!
