Hello--I recently picked up a Mac mini G4, and I want to try recording with GarageBand (first, and go from there). Never done any kind of computer-based recording before (though I have done recording in pro studio with ADATs).

So yeah, I've been RECORDING my band for a few weeks now, putting in time here and there. We are finish up vocals, unfortunately, we wanted to have our CD release show on May 12th (They will be pressed at discmakers.com, 1000 copies). We couldnt afford to professionally record it, because the average listener won't complain about slight quality issues, if the music is good, it is good.

Allright, I want to get my own home studio for myself and bands that I play in. I need it to be something under $800, and if you could, around $700ish. I don't want something uber-professional, but something that isn't going to sound like complete crap. I have a good understanding of audio, mixing, digital recording and what not.

Hello-

I'm thinking about geting a professional soundcard for recording and producing. I orginaly wanted one that had a midi interface but having trouble finding one with a budget of 250nz which is appox 100us it looks like i will hav to use a usb converter for midi but i herd they are a bit delayed. Could anyone help me out with the right card for me ?

Hi all

I would like to share my wish list for my amature small budget home studio. I just wanted to know what are your views and reviews or comments on these gears.

PC-3.4Ghz, 2 GB Ram, 80GB (HD) at present.

I'm very new and inexperienced and seeking guidance from the pros out there. All I wanna do mix, master and just record music for a major record label or for film so I can get the experience of being in a professional environment before branch out on my own business venture.

I need to buy the equipment through which i can get the maximum gain out of my mixes i don't need a final eq eqipment cuz i will eq from my pro tools since i will be sending my pro tools output to the mastering equipment... so a guide plz wht can i get to the the maximum gain out of my mixes in 6000$ US

Hey guys,

I don't post here often but I sure have gotten a lot of good info from this forum. I did a comparison of several midrange pres and recorded acoustic guitar clips that I posted on the TapeOp board in the Gear Talk section. The pres consist of Mackie VLZ, PreSonus BlueTube, PreSonus MP20, ART Pro Channel, Aphex 207, and Electro Harmonix 12AY7.
