Do you have any mics?

That would be the first place I would start.

Let us know.

Chris

Yes.

Shure SM57
Shure SM98
AKG D112
Neumann TLM103
AKG C 1100 S

So before getting other mics i want to buy the other things so i can get started.

But im sure you will see a "Need some mic choosing help!" topic sooner or later with my name on. :)

Your basic setup looks like a fine start. Maybe a decent pair of headphones.
More importantly.
Learn your recording space ie: what mics sound cool- in what rooms. If this is a home setup, then try every room in the house. Vocals in the bathroom, gtr in the stair-well, drums in the living room ect ect...

Focus on using what you have to hone your skills. Read everything you can get your hands on and ask as many questions as you need, right here on RO.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Okay. Its great to hear from one who have the expirience that i dont that my choises are not all bad! Thanx for your help 8-) .

But one final question. Will I be happy/satisfied with this setup in 5 years. or should i ask: Would you be?

Asger

Thats a very subjective question...who can say what will be happening in 5 years.The mics will always be ...um...mics...so they'd last...the board may change as you grow...the delta will probably be able to be replaced in a year as technology grows and quality goes down in price...the Genelecs are timeless.

I've been buying and selling gear for the past 5 years now and haven't kept many items. Unless you find the sound that you like, you will continue to experiment with new gear and that would mean letting go of some of your equipment. My suggestion is to buy your gear used on ebay from reputable seller with good feedback. If you don't like the item, sell it back on ebay. Many project studio owners are going this route these days. There is a lot of gear out there but most will not meet our personal requirements so we just need to get informed and then try it out for ourselves.
