I've always preferred recordings that have used LD Tube Condensers for drum overheads...whether it be U67's or C12's...expensive taste I know, it's a flaw.

I know it's always an outrageous thing to do in any aspect of life to say 'give me this mic's sound for $x.xx'.

I record mainly acoustic guitar based songs using Logic Pro. i would like to enhance some of my songs with some basic orchestration and have looked at a few options.

I am now thinking of East West Symphonic Orchestra Silver edition as it seems very well priced and also has a decent Steinway Piano within its instrument set.

I know there are a bunch of these what mic should I buy threads already, and I've read a lot of them, so i hope everyone can deal with another.
Here is what I got:
So far my recording rig is as follows, Mackie Onyx 1620>Mackie firewire>Custom PC(AMD 3200, 2gigs ram)>Traction 2.

hi all :)

I would like to buy a decent pair of stereo monitors for my home studio, the budget is set up to 350$: any advice? :)

thanks!

Hey guys,

So I'm looking to be able to record all the instruments in a room onto different tracks on the computer. This would probably take around 8 inputs (2 Guitar, Bass, Drums, 2/3 Vocal).

I'm good with computers, so I'm thinking of either a card or firewire/USB 2 that would record into whichever software I'm thinking of using.

Looking at the ADK's, the AKG Perception series, Studio Projects B1, and the Joemeek JM37-DP.

Any other ideas? I'm recording vocals only and at some upper ranges so I suppose I need a "brighter" sounding mic right?

I got the MXL57 right now and it sucks ass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I am new to the forum and new to recording as well. I hope that what I am proposing is not too crazy.

Hello!

First time client gets a budget which can include mastering. :)

I'm looking for a reasonable online mastering house. Planning to get a single mastered. Budget not exceeding 100USD, song duration 3:30. Rock.

Familier with XARC mastering. Will be getting in touch with them.

Cheers!

I have know since I set up shop that the LF in my monitoring environment had some peaks. Not as bad as a bedroom, but definitely not smooth. (The monitors are B&W 801series III which can definitely reproduce 25Hz, and flat to boot.)

I have budget about $1000 for stduio moniters! (with/without amps)

either actives or passives+amp are fine! if u suggest passive please tell me the a good choice of amp with it.

i've did some research,please help me with them!

feel free to suggest me if u've got better choices!

These are what i found out most popular from most of the forums!
