You know...for a while...I've been asking for (& receiving) help on questions related to: well...basically, trying to achieve a pro sound on a (my) project studio budget.

I've got the ear;

So why shouldn't I begin to move up; & start to acquire some quality gear?

How does this sound for a start?

As my nominal financial windfall (LOL) approaches I still consider my options. You guys have done a wonderful job talking me out of a Roland 24 track digital all-in-one. Unfortunately, still undecided in my PC vs Mac saga.

I'm a new member in your forum and I hope to learn from you.
I like to have my own studio in the future but right noe I can't because I'm still a student so I'll work with the small things.

I'm in the process of recording my old band and I'm completely oblivious to the whole mastering process so I'm taking the songs to a mastering facility. I plan on taking the songs to the facility as 24 bit aiff files on a data disc.

I've heard a lot of mastering engineers complain about too much compression, reverb, low end, high-end ...etc.

Hi,

I am building my studio bit-by-bit, and its time to consider my mic spread.

Basically the 4 main uses I will have:

- fully Micing the drumkit with up to 8 mics
- 5 mics to kit, mic to guitar amps x 2, bass DI for live recording
- Micing up guitar amps & bass amps
- recording vocals

Heres a list of my current gear:

PC

Midi Keyboard

MAudio MobilePre Audio Interface

Mic

Tapco s5 Active Monitors.

Its setup like this :

MIDI KEYBOARD--> PC--> MOBILEPRE--> TAPCO S5

(Mic INTO MOBILE PRE)

I have just brought this bunch:

Access Virus C Desktop Synth
Clavia Nord Lead Keyboard Synth

I am currently using a PreSonus Tube Pre as well as Mackie and Behringer board preamps with a CAD GXL 2200 and am not unhappy with sound. The GXL 2200 is very clean if a little on the bright side, and the PreSonus has tons of gain. I am looking to add another vocal mic or 2 and a quality preamp. I am considering the Safesound P1 and the Speck Model 5.

I have posted on the "budget/home studio etc" w/ no results and am expanding my search for expert advice to this forum. I hope to not p*ss off the moderators as I regard this site as an invaluable resource.
