I'm bored so for fun I thought I'd start a list of tools and things that every studio must have. (Aside from the obvious gear and room treatments.) Feel free to add if you have any other suggestions:

i use the following eqiupment (i am a rapper)

Cool Edit Pro 2.1
Mic : Audio-Technica AT3035
Nady Pop Filter
Behringer Preamp
Alesis Compressor

i have fairly good quality, but i was wonderin
if a sound card could improve it?

also i have seen tht there is two kinds.

An old thread right from 2002/2003 days, but here we go:

1) Amp Farm
2) PSP Vintage Warmer
3) TC Master X ( 3+5)
4) TC Chorus
5) Waves Ren Eq/Q6
6) URS N Eq
7) MC 2000
8) CB2
9) Lexiverb
10)LA 2A
11) L2
12) L1
13) Pitch in time
14) Mod Dleay
15) PSP 42/84

Hi,
Ive been dabbling for about a year with home recording on a budget, and it's time to get serious. I have:

P4 2.66 all purpose Dell 4550
1GB RAM (max supported)
80GB HD
Deta 66 (w/Omni box)
Yamaha P120 and Evo MK461c for midi control
DAW-worthless PC speakers (halfway decent consumer-level headphones)

Hi, you may have seen me post in the Pro Audio Forum, but I'm back here.

Anyway, I'm trying to have a set-up to practice recording/mixing for as cheaply as possible and need some help on microphone suggestions. The tone I would like to eventually attain would be that punchy nu-metal, stoner rock, or blues like sound.

Here's what I have:

I'm purchasing a compressor soon as was wondering how big of a rack I should I get and what other gear would you consider essential for tracking? I just want a small, portable setup so I can also do on location work. Thanks.

. I've heard good about the Pultec and the LA-2A . .

I havn't bought yet and I am deciding between the project and studio paks...

the plugs I'm using are the Kjuher(sp?)-audio classic series plugs, and from what I've read and heard the UA plugs should be quite an improvement.

so, which plugs would i get the most immediate bennefit from?

For anyone interested, Musicians Friend has Wavelab Essential for $99. It goes for $199 everywhere else I've seen. I would get it fast because it apprears to be a scew up on their part.

I'm not a sound engineer and therefore I do plan on taking my finished project to a professional to be mastered.

However, with music being my growing hobby, I do want to invest the time and money (self-education) in learning more about the mastering process.

Hello I have recently got very intrested into recording my band and my own projects so i bought a few things to start myself out. I have been recording for a while now and i just wanted to know what essentials i would need to have a decent recording studio.

I need to buy items that are cheap and productive for I am on a very low budget.
