Hi, back...
Here's the set up I'm proposing...
By selling one of my synths, my Mbox, and Aardvark DP 24/96, the whole thing should cost me about 2500-3K...
Basic idea is a set-up studio capable of recording atleast a full drum kit with the possibility additional dudes... and able to do the rest of the band after drum take.
*This is not intended to be a pro studio... rather something more capable than a typical "bed room/project" studio, where I can practice recording bands with decent quality, but cheap. And with enough mic options so that I dont do the same thing over and over*
For headphone mixes and avoidance of PC monitor latency, Pre-amp outs are sent to Furman Patchbay and Multed... One path into into PC for tracking, other path sent into individual inputs on Yamaha 10/2 for headphone mixes.
List doesnt include Mic Stands and other extras
I would like to add one Large Diaphram condenser which would cost approximatly 500 on the used market exclusively for vocals. Please make a suggestion. (Note: I'm considering a Groove Tubes GT-66)
I would also like to add a matched pair of small diaphram condensers for Hats and OverHeads with a smooth/warm or airy high-end ... basically something without a sharp/painfull high-end without sounding dull. 300 used total. Please make a suggestion.
Mic wise, I'm trying to go mostly cardiod as I dont know what type of environment the set-up will be in, and I'll rarely ever use ORTF and other Micing techniques using OMNI patterns.
Thanks

3 Reasons: 1. On the listening sessions, I liked the way it sou
3 Reasons:
1. On the listening sessions, I liked the way it sounded on the hats
2. I need to mult after the patchbay, but before it hits the 896
3. Most importantly, I was a dumb ass and didnt know that the 896 had an additional 8 pres on the analog in... I thought it had 2 :roll:
Perhaps I'll dump the Behringer...
Thanks, good catch :)

The only thing i dont like is the Behringer ADA8000. Why do you
The only thing i dont like is the Behringer ADA8000. Why do you need it when you have already got the digimax LT for 8 channels of pre and the 896 with has 8 too for a total of 16?..and besides I think you only have 12-13 mics anyways.
