Hi everyone,

I originally posted this over in Pro Audio Gear. AudioGaff suggested that I might get a better response by posting it over here.

The view from the crow's nest is to go one of 4 directions...

Hello all,

I am in the early stages of thinking about a business plan/website where I offer giveaways. Customers would be entered for a chance to win these giveaways after making a purchase. (I am withholding what merchandise I am selling at this point, don't want anyone to take my idea! it is audio related, though).

Hello,
I am an engineer who is very familiar with Pro Tools and use it mainly with VO, so I don't need much processing. So. I'm not too knowledgeable about outboard processing, what order they need to be linked, etc. .so i need to set up a home studio with : Dell Desktop (new)
Cool Edit Pro
MXL condenser mic
MDX 2600 (compressor,gate,EQ)

Hi,

I need some advice on what gear i should buy to help me record at home, have already have speakers and a computer, but i need some advice on what mixer (or something like that) to record with. On the mixer i will need about 8 mic inputs, for a drum kit! I'm looking to spend about £200-300.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks

Lewis

i need a few suggestions for equipment for my home studio needed to do the following jobs

1 voice overs, vocal recordings for songs,jingles etc
2 instruments like sitar,flute,acoustic and electric guitar recordings through Micing cabs, and maybe live drums too.

Guys I am new to recording, I have been reading quite much about what gear I need to have a home (bedroom) studio. My maximum budget is about $15,000, please look over the list that I made and give me some advices of what I should pick up, if there is something better. I want to make pop, rnb music.

Digital, analog, or a combination of both, what one piece of gear do you rely on for every session?

Try not to answer "My Ears" since we all know you aint doin this without em. .

If you're interested in elaborating on this particular piece, give some insight as to the reasons for its importance even if by its nature its obvious.
