Ok so I'm the leader of our 5 pc jazz combo. Trumpet, alto sax, Bass, Paino, and drums.

The trumpet is being recorded with a Shure beta 98 h/c, the sax with a beta 57a, the drums with a pair of CO2 Overheads, the bass is DI and the piano we do later with the CO2 mics upstairs with the grand piano.

I reread my last post and realized that I am an idiot. So I deleted it.

So i've been thinking about starting up a basement studio, and I would like to decide what to buy so if I see it on sale I can pick it up. I would love to hear the opinion's of some people here to let me know what they think I should buy. I don't want super professional quality stuff, but I would like equipment that will give good sounding stuff. Here's what I figure I need so far...

Hello,

I have a situation and I need advice if possible.

I am looking to buy a few things for myself so I can make music with a friend.
I have been playing guitar but nothing extremely serious. Since I have been limited by my lack of gear.

The things I want to buy :

I direct a school orchestra, and want to make recordings for the kids of their concerts. Currently, I have a superscope CD recorder and want to upgrade my mics and get a mixer involved.

What could I get for under $1500 to make good recordings of my orchestra.

I figure that I will add in the future, but for now, just keep the mics on a stand out in front of the audience.

Hey guys, i'm looking to start up some home recording space, however i need some gear suggestions.

i'm looking for advice on how to best wire up a small equipment rack case(8SP SKB to give you an idea of the size) of processors (Eventide, TC Electronics) via analog inputs/outputs.

i'm wary of the dubious benefits of spending mega-dollars on pre-made Monster and Mogami cables.

Okay I'm new to recoring i have a whole big tape deck set up. I am looking to move to digital. I do not want a work station.
I need help like i really dont no what i need.
I have mics and cables etc.
I also have vegas 7.0d software Im guessing you can record with it i dont no how but ill learn.
I was looking at getting a Alesis fire wire mixer

I'm an ex singer in a rock band. Got away because of the crazy life it brought but miss making music. I want to start recording at home as a hobby to start. My old band did some recording in a basement but was all done by one of the other members through a mixer and a computer. My gift is in vocals and I want to concentrate on making beautiful harmonies with some effects.

Ok, so i am new here, nice to meet you all.

I have come here like I'm sure many people do, to ask for help and advice.

I have made a business plan and have a company ready to make CD's and package them for me, ready for sale. I also have a business plan and the money for the initial start up of my record label business. Yep, thats right, a record label.
