This is home-studio-ish, so I'll ask here.

I'm looking at this:

hello,
First, I wanted to buy a midi keyboard, but I decided that I will buy synth to $ 400:) My choice is a Korg MS2000. Recommend me some other synths for that price. I making electronic music (Ableton): experimental, ambient, witch house, minimal synth, minimal wave, synth.

Thanks for any suggestion!

What is the best interface I can buy for around $200 dollars that has a midi input/output? I originally bought the M-Audio Fast Track USB ($100) which has worked well, but I'm going to want to make my own beats so having a midi input would be ideal. (Unless I can somehow plug my keyboard into the Guitar input on the device) Please help. I only have a few more days left to return this.

Hello everybody,

Hey, I'm new to this forums, and hope someone can help me:)

I've been trying to record an acoustic guitar some time with Samson G Track (Now I know, not the best choice.) and this S/N ratio was really bad. I mean, there was lots of noise, and I could never get my signal go over (putting it's sensitivity high) -20db without sounding really hissy and noisy.

1. Api pres are sick on aggressive drums, they may not sound great isolated, wait until you get a mix going
2. I was right 6 years ago, SM7B is still awesome on the bottom of a snare through Daking pre
3. Royer 101, yeah it is sick, buy one, now
4. Patchbays are easy if you spend 1 month to think about it, then 6 hours to wire it

If you shop around, you can find gear for really decent prices and if you know what you're looking for, really decent performance as well.

Hi all

Lavry MP10 preamp's with a matched pair of DPA 4011's into an RME ADI-8 QS (ORTF)
My 13 year old daughter once again. Piano and room aren't the best but what do you think of the Lavry's with the DPA's?
