Well.. I've been putting off this hobby for a LONG time (couple of years), because I don't know what to get. So hopefully I can FINALLY get an answer and start pursuing a little of my dream of making music.

I just thought I'd introduce myself before probing knowledgeable minds. My name's Ian and I'm interested in venturing into recording. I'm currently in the enrollment process with Full Sail college. I'm sure they won't venture too far into teaching you how to set up your own home studio...so I figure I'd take the knowledge from them, but still set up my own studio in the future.

hey guys, I know this is my first post on these boards but my band is kind of in a jam and it seems like there is a wealth of knowledge here, so if someone could answer my question it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, well I'm looking to buy a mixer in a day or two. My range is upto $200. There are two options to me
1- Yamaha mw10c
2- Behringer 1204 fx mixer

Hi RO,
I have a live session coming up on Monday. It's the most musicians I've ever had around me when I was recording. We are looking at eight, drummer, conga player, guitar, bass, keys, tenor sax, alto sax (guitarist), and trombone. And a really good singer.

I got a Macbook recently and was wondering If any of you know which sound card/interface would work well with it, ill be using Pro Tools or Cubase sx3.

I want something around 300-500 dollars, this will be mainly to record while Im on vacations and stuff like that.

Hey everyone, I'd like some advice/critiscism on my current setup and how it can be improved:

-Toshiba Laptop w/ Intel dual core 2.0gHz, 4gb RAM, running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit
-M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB interface
-SM57
-Sennheiser HD280 Headphones
-Ableton Live Lite, which came with the interface ;)

Hi!

I'm relatively new to recording and would be grateful if someone could help me with getting my gear setup to record.

I run a rehearsal studio with 3 rooms and will be using my office as a "control room" to record either rehearsals(basic recording) and/or multitrack recording of bands for demo's etc.

My gear consists of the following:

EDIT Sorry for the abbreviations, Didnt realise i had used them untill pointed out. Have corrected on original post to avoid confusion.

Alright people, firstly have been reading the topics on this forum for days now and feel ive learned a thing or 2 from you guys, so thanks for that.

Greetings.

I'm preparing for a long project, archiving some local bands from many genres.

And I need advice on how to recording audio for this project...
So far I've had advice to buy either AKG 414 or Sennheiser 416...
The budget has around 2000$ for audio hardware, so let me know what you think the setup should be.
