Tons spent on drums is a great start.

Please let us know your budget. I'd suggest $5,000 would allow you to build a setup where you wouldn't regret any of the purchases.

For example:

Macbook or an older G5 will do you well: $1400
Cubase: $400
RME FF800 (only 4 simultaneous mic pres but worth having and adding pres to): $1200
Audix D6, D4, D2x2 or 3: $1000 (avoid the packs because the condensors aren't worth having)

Either:

2 x KEL HM-1s: $400
1 x Audiotechnica AT4050, or an AKG 414: $400

Or perhaps 2 x 414s.

Some of these prices are based on secondhand and all are guesses/

Jeemy's recommendations are good IMO. You might throw a pair of AT4051b's in the mix. They have the added benefit of accepting the 4049 capsules for omni patterns. Also, the AKG414 is roughly USD $600-900 used. Most that are cheaper are either broken or counterfeit. +1 on the Fireface 800. Preamps would be from True Precision, Millennia, Grace, DW Fearn, API 3124+ etc.

well i was thinking roughly about 3g's would be my budget thats why i was thinking presonus firepod cause it comes with 8 channels the ability to daisychain if you do 2 and allso comes with cubase and was thinking about the superlux because they are inexpensive but pack quite the punch for the cash from what have read so far

re

wow i am a total noob lol i have no clue as to what either of you are saying not even sure if its english

The Presonus interface will be adequate for a budget setup. It's not my favorite but I'm not a hater of Presonus either. The microphone recommendations were Audio Technica AT4051 (x2), or Audio Technica AT4050 (x2), or AKG C414B-XLS (x2) or similar, or Kel HM-1 (x2). A studio of any type be it budget or pro would be very hamstrung if they didn't ultimately have at least a pair of Shure SM58 and/or SM57. Now, don't forget your power and cables. 50' lengths of mic cable are best. They can be interconnected if you need longer lengths. Quality cables are pricey and you do not want to skimp on the cables. They aren't ***y or glamorous but they are uber necessary and important to clean signal. I recommend getting a power conditioner with a toroidal transformer in it. At the bare minimum you need some sort of halfway decent UPS to protect the electronics. Jeemy's computer recommendation was for a Macbook Pro but a purpose dedicated PC laptop will work too provided it has sufficient specifications. Cheap is the enemy in the computer realm too but it's too easy to go the other way and covet the most expensive machine out there-the machine that goes, bing-and you're going to strip (from a pc) all unnecessary programs and garbage anyway. Now don't forget the stands. You'll need mic stands that are durable but don't weigh a ton unless you are completely studio based. Onstage Stands seems to give good bang for the buck. And lastly, you'll need cases for things if you even think you're going to go mobile with them.

I take it those are for overheads and vocals jeez I checked prices and that would kill a third of my budget

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Even a budget studio or a budget home studio costs money. It ain't just two turn tables and a microphone. All of the microphones that were recommended are very versatile and can be found used in reasonable quantities and are workhorses.

You want to stay away from cheap chinese microphones. They are hard to work with for novice and they have zero resale value and questionable quality and lifespan. If you wanted to steer clear of condenser microphones at first, then go with Shure SM58 x 2 and SM57 x 6. You will be adding microphones to your locker for as long as you work in audio. You only want to purchase good ones.

Some of my colleagues have a great motto. Buy once, cry once. Buy cheap and cry many times.

by cheap Chinese im assuming your refuring to superlux?

Get a Macbook Pro and a Shure SM7. You will never sell either.

You can't record (easily) full bands with one mic and a laptop so that isn't a very helpful post. Also the SM7 is not as versatile as the other recommended mics including the SM57.
