Hey ive been thinking about deliver clean power to my rig as it approaches completion. The use of isolation transformers seems to make sense since the rig will be in a regular house, without any modifications to the existing electric service. My questions are:

Hey all,

I am moving and remodeling my current house, and ive got 6 totes full of stuff id like to keep out of the house. Im thinking my car which i have, or a shed or trailer which would need to be purchased. I would need storage anywhere from a week to 3 months. The gear of concern is 2x Avid eleven racks, a beta 57 mic, a pre built desktop, and components for 3 other desktops.

I've been away from the music world since 2013, when my last band broke up. It's been a long hiatus, but I've been chatting with a few members of that old band, and we're going to form a new project this Spring/ Summer. Which means I need to buy and build a new recording setup.

I am having a really hard time figuring out what to do. I have a project coming up with piano and solo violin, I feel like I am way over thinking things, but I cannot decide what to do. The hall we are recording in sounds amazing a little too reverberant but still a very gooding sounding hall.

Hi,

I would like to try the Outboard Gear Processing for my recorded audio like Vocal and Bass Guitar.

I normally have my clean recording on both, then processed and toning via plugins. And I would like to use some outboard gears like Compressor, EQ, Bass Amp Head...for that.

Question :

What's the basic setup/chain should I do for a single track?

Do we need to spend thousands of dollars on recording gear or software?

When it comes right down to good sound, the mix and master, I personally believe I can get by on most basic DAW platform with good to excellent preamps and conversion.

That fact that I use and discuss excellent gear is because its available to me, and because its also a passion of interest.

:D is basically how I look since the delivery guy delivered my Eleven Rack this morning. :D

I actually snared one second hand in excellent condition with the latest firmware and the Avid Eleven Extension Pack for less than half what they sell new here. :D

So far I have ran my '98 USA HSS Strat & my '98 Les Paul Flametop through it...I must say its sounds impressive :D
