newb starting out and need some advice..

I have recorded a few things in the past with my old band, but I don't have all the things I use to use. Before I had some drum mics(i forget what kind), an sm57, then those two cheap mxl condenser mics that you can get for like $100. I had them all through a samson mixer and then I recorded with a Roland Vs880.

Omni mic advice

Forums

I don't own any true omnis. When I want to use one, I go with a C414 in omni mode. So what omni mics (and at what price) would be a clear step up from the C414s either for use as omni outriggers in orchestral recording or for close Micing of acoustic instruments. (I've used the C414s as omni outriggers, but have usually chosen another pattern when using them in the studio.)

Need some advice on preamps/ a/d converter

I am looking to up the quality of my "mbox 2" "usb 2" set up. I am willing to spend around $1000 for a quality preamp, but I get mixed messages. Some people tell me to get a higher quality a/d converter before I spend too much on a preamp. But I figure since my set up only allows for 48k transfer rate, that I should focus on getting some nicer preamps first.

Basic Vocal settings / effects advice

Forums

Hi gruop. Well I have done a ton of reading on this site about recording vocals and I can't seem to find some basic information I am looking for. Hopefully someone can give me a hand.

I am not new to recording in my home studio but I am new to recording vocals. I am using Cubase SX3 and Universal Audio plugin effects. I have a vocal iso booth and using a $200 Rhode condensor mic.

Need some quick advice on 3 synths. (tell me what to buy!)

hey,

I've been looking at getting into synth now for quite some time now and recently it has become possible for me to afford one. Although I've tried to do as much research as I can I feel the only way to really be able to recommend something like this is too have a past experience since I do not have a very good idea on how these operate. So thats what brought me here.
