Silly question from a silly man.

I'm thinking of getting a Roland VM-3100/3100Pro and hook up my guitar,amp,effects rack,drum machine and synth

then i need output(monitors) However, I'm confused since i need to amplify the mixer right?
and how, with what? any suggestions what happens next? what do I need to buy? i need advise what i need else.

Hello all.

I have a $3,000 budget to purchase some new gear and would like some recommendations from you all on gear to expand my studio setup.

Hey everyone...I'm looking for places that I could rent an API 3124 or a Neve clone from. I want to start experimenting with nice pres before making the plunge because I want to make sure the debt will be worth it for me at this point.

Does anyone know any companies either in Illinois or that will ship out of state?

Well Ive been recording home demos with me and a friend for quite some time. Just one (sometime two) guitar track, bass, vocals, and the occasion drums. Im starting to upgrade to something a bit more professional and want to go the DAW route. I want a nice firewire interface (something like a MOTU 828 or the PreSonus Firepod) paired with a good preamp.

Ok this is my first post so hopefully it's in the right place. I have been asked to help put a list together for a friend who is building studio for a High School with a total of a 50K budget. It is going to be split up to 50/50 for gear and construction. Here is a current quote that he recived for a setup from a vendor in Phoenix, AZ.

I have a DAW with 3.4 Intel, 2 Gig RAM and 320 gig in hard drive space. I use Delta 1010 and Audiophile 24/192 cards. For some reason, the quality of recording on Audiophile 24/192 (not 24/96 card which came out initially) sounds better than on Delta 1010. I record keyboards and vocals mostly and rarely Guitar and I was comparing the quality of vocal parts.

I'm merging my two rigs together. They were at different locations.
So now I have a zillion power plugs, and I think it's going to be too much for one 15amp circuit (wall outlet).

I need to calculate my power needs. I've read that a circiut using 14 gauge wire is:
(volts x amps = watts)
120 x 15 = 1800

From here, where do I go?

I got the gear list of what is for sale from the Hit Factory. anyone want it?

I am looking to start recording concerts, recitals, audition tapes, demos, etc. It would be all classical intruments. I'm looking for some kind of gear to record just stereo (i don't wanna get too fancy with tons of mics and wires running all over the place).
