Greetings!

Welcome to the Budget Gear Forum!

After carefull thought and seeing that there is a strong demand that was not directly being addressed, we are starting a new forum here at R.O dedicated to the finance challaged folks that are on the hunt as well as wanting to discuss the topic of inexpensive recording gear.

Here we will have a place where we discuss low cost and down right cheap new or used recording hardware and budget gear that can still get the job done. This is intended specificly to recording hardware only please.

Thank you and I hope that you will enjoy yet another source of infomation that is available here at R.O.

only joking. your english smokes my Danish by lightyears. I was there once, 25 years ago. Beautiful Place.

Ellegaard, this forum is confusing. And I'm an Amurikan.

When one replies, there is an option for a 'Title' for the post, but it doesn't show up in the post.

Happy Holidays, AG!

This thread is right up my Alley. 'BUDGET' is such a lonely word.
And 'CHEAP' is wholly Inappropriate.

So........what's a Musician without a Girlfriend?

Budget as in low - or rather inexpensive. Cheap as in cheap price, cheap quality, cheap reliability, cheap sounding in tone.

hey! How's it going there?

Thanks for clearing up the meaning/definition of cheap. So, essentially it's pretty much open seaon on anything then?

Cool.....sometimes inexpensive does turn out to be crappola, as in 'CHEAP' as one dictionary definition would explain.

The Soundblaster Audigy comes to mind as a different interperatation of 'cheap' It's not all that inexpensive, but it's a boat anchor for a very small craft. Perhaps a quality fishing pole with suitable tensile cohesion and some yummy worms may give the audigy it's rightful place in the universe.

I'm concerned about Cubase SE. I am very suspicious, and would like to be reassured that my thinking is either erroneous, or dead-on accurate.

for 100 bucks, it simply sounds too good to be true.

I appreciate the feedback very much. I must confess, I have no use for MIDI. First of all, I never 'grasped' the concept.

And being an Egomanical person as I am, I would prefer to play synth drums without MIDI or quantizing, or any of that gimcrack stuff.

As I said, I want produce CDs with a 'what you hear is what you get' sort of quality.

The Beatles recorded their first LP in real time on an Ampex 2-track if I'm not mistaken. 'Please Please Me' I think it was.

Obviously, I do not have George Martin or the Abundance of Talent those guys had a 100 years ago.........

but, I still like it simple. what ya see etc........

I very much appreciate your positive feedback.

I shall give CubaseSE a try. Thanks

good stuff

G'day all.

Great idea for a forum. Hi Audio Gaff, and thanks for the 'new' section. I will be posting at main recording.org, and this one as my studio spans both sides and has weak and strong links, expensive and 'cheap' sides.

I have a topic going half way down the forum re: my 16 track studio...any ideas to offer Audio Gaff and other .org users?

Would be appreciated. It's been there for some time :)
