Hello I have recently got very intrested into recording my band and my own projects so i bought a few things to start myself out. I have been recording for a while now and i just wanted to know what essentials i would need to have a decent recording studio.

I need to buy items that are cheap and productive for I am on a very low budget.

This is the equiptment I have as of now
Tascam 4 track casette recorder (1 input)
crappy Sony Headphones
Compaq Computer with CD Burner
Cool Edit Pro 2.0 softwear
Acoustica CD Burning Softwear
Shure Vocal mic (bad)
Stageworks Vocal mic (bad)
Stereo system to hook up to Tascam

I have this all setup in my basement and i just want cheap essentials to add to my studio so i can make my Audio sound better
Thanks for helping me.

You have the bare essentials. Use what you got and go make music. Worry more about learning, understanding and developing your basic skills with what you have as that is far more important than to worry about what next piece of gear you need to buy. If your dead set on buying something, I guess I would suggest on buying decent mic's.

I'd look at buying an m-box and a condensor mic or two. The mbox is moderately cheap but protools (the software that comes with it) is the industry standard. Also if you recording anything decent and want to add anything in a pro studio, the recording engineers can load up your session. Also i recommend you bought expensvive headphones rather than cheap speakers.
