I'm looking to build a home studio just to mess around on and record demos or whatever. I'm looking to spend in the range of 2000-2500. I know its not a lot but I have no idea what i'm supposed to get. I"m going to be recording a band I know i need to be able to record more than 4 or 8 tracks at once. I'm just all confused on what I need.

Hi All,

I have been looking at my gear and wondering if I shouldnt be taking a different tact with my expansion. I am a musician utilising recoring for my own material, but am hoping to expand to better quality as my skills develope doing personal demo's myself and others. .

As some of you know I am running a soundcraft Spirit folio 12/2 mixer into a Tascam DP01 fx/CD.

Hi, I am new to recording and need some direction, so here are some questions for the experts out there. I am using Cubase to mix and Wavelab to master:

1. IN mixing, How much headroom should I factor in when recording my separate tracks? Do I just try for the closest level to 0 db without clipping or do I factor some decibals like -5db or -10db.

Hey all my first post after getting lots of help as a visitor..here's my dilemma.

THANKS!

Plugins are in their infancy. The pluginswe use today will on day be looked back on fondly as curios. The people who are developing them, currently, will eventually be seen as the pioneers of an entirely new method of processing audio.

alright. I'm in the researching stage of finding the gear that I'm going to need to build a pretty basic (but professional enough) PC setup.

This is my first post in this forum. (This place is really starting to take shape :cool: ) I would like to talk about the future of the "native" DAW. Specifically how this new crop of DSP cards will impact and improve the native experience. As you know, a whirlwind of manufacturers are soon to release their own DSP cards (i.e.
