I just did a mic test recording session at the local Tom Lee Music. Mics tested include:

Good morning you amazing people!

I would love to have some recommendations for a Mixer that is within the $100-200 range. If there is a significantly better Mixer near $300, that's okay too.

The amount of inputs/outputs are not my first priority. My first priority is Effects!

PS: Something I can get on Amazon, thanks

I'm looking at getting an audio mixing board and want to spend no more than $200. At first I was going to get a Behringer 1204x with USB. However reading reviews and fourm entries I decided against it. Currently, I see the Mackie Pro-FX8 mixer. It offers all the features and more than the Behringer for the same price.

So I got a few hundred dollars to spend on my studio set-up, all in the name of some deep house and dirty techno. I have say $300. Obviously I'm not looking for pristine audio quality here. I have some decent plugins and my Midas f24 lets me take advantage of that along with some cool modules from my eurorack. I'm looking for a little flava flava.

I've been thinking

I was thinking the Audio-Technica ATR3350 but I wanted to know if there were other options.

Okay so I read up that the cheap $25 and lower microphone stand don't last for long (adjustment screws strip, boom sags). So are there any that don't have this problem under $40 per stand? Prefer closer to $30 per stand if that is possible. Let me know.
Links and/or names are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,

I've recently gotten an Azio backlit computer keyboard for $25 and I -really- like the idea. I can work in completely dI'm light and it's great.

New to recording, a bit low on cash from buying other gear. Any recommendations on cheap monitors that will give me the closest to real sound everyone would hear. The music I am doing is bass heavy, so good sounding bass is wanted. I have done some research, but most stuff I read online are pretty old, so I am looking for more up-to-date answers.

Hi,

I'd like to add a 3rd display to my Windows XP setup (Intel Q8400 MSI mobo). Obviously, don't need hi-res since it's just DAW. I have a Radeon 2-head and tried activating the mobo's on-board VGA adapter for the 3rd display and it didn't show up.

I recorded a very short excerpt from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"(for demonstration purposes only of course). The goal was to do a bit of a shootout between reverbs:
