Hey, So I'm building a studio in the basement. Gotta nice room for it and everything. So far my equipment includes;
Mics
-EV EL35 x 4
-EV EL33 x 1
-Behringer C4 x 2
-Apex120 x 1
-FAKE SM57 x 2 (I got ripped off on ebay)

Interface & Mixer
-Behringer Europower PMH880S Rack Soundboard
-M-Audio 410 Firewire

So, I am using my dell inspiron 5150 laptop, cakewalk home studio 2002, my Tascam us-144 audio interface, and an mxl 990 for vocal recording my sound card in my laptop is a sigmatel audio sound card. My issue is after I lay down the acoustic guitar track and I go back to record vocals. Well, like the title states, I have latency issues.

I want to get advises on want to get, to do a home studio (that sounds as good as it can). I use to have one of those ¨all in one¨ 16 tracks recorder. Now I'm going to get a iMac but i'm not sure which software nor interface to use. Protools, Cubase, Logic, Digidesign, M-audio, Tascam?

Hi!

Well over the years I have tried a few methods of computer based recording from Lexicon omega's to MOTU stuff and its never been very successful now Im going to atempt again after having a good thing about it lol. Im 21 so go easy on me but I do know quite a bit about music stuff as I love it (i play guitar and sing aswell)

I recently purchased a Lexicon Alpha to do some home recording with. I've set it all up on my computer, checked everything out, read the manuals, gone to the website, EVERYTHING. I have it set up exactly the way it tells me to, although when I go to record, it doesn't record.

Anybody know what could be causing this?

Alright, I'm set on getting the Mbox Mini, and I just want some insight on what else i should get. It comes with decent monitors, and a condenser mic, I just want some help or some input on what else i should get.

I'm going to have about 400 dollars left after i get the mbox, so... my question is... what else should i buy to make this into an efficient and quality home studio?

Hi there.

I posted this on another forum a while back.

Alrighty, i'm about to get about 700 bucks to make a small home studio, and i know i'm getting an Mbox mini. and i'm just going to get the cheap studio package, its 400 bucks and has Pro Tools, some decent monitors, an average to sh*tty condenser mic, and i need to get a midi controller.

Looking for a pair of monitors for around $2-300 American. All I've been using is this and my mixes don't come out that great.

Okay this may be a lot to explain, but if you can help me out with this I would surely appreciate it!
