ok guys I have a question for you? would you pay 125 dollars a hour to track in a studio thats acoustically perfect from drums and vocals? or should I upgrade studio with drum mics and converters and a good vocal mic and completely deaden my room (since its to small to be usuable) and add reverb electronically.. I would be able to work at my whim and be able to not rush... But still I'm not sure If a good drum sound can be optained in a completely dead room (though i think it can) Any way I realize theres two schools of thought here.. Any input is helpful thanks..

To be ready to do drums and vocals I need on more preamp and new converter and some mics maybe about a 4000 dollar investment..

How about a Lomo mic instead of a U87 i can save there?

I personally think it might be a good idea my vocal chain is valley people 610 and a ssl pre) Is this OK?

thanks for the advice :D
