sm57 all the way!

The Shure sm57 about $90.00 all the way as far as an essential mic goes

how much money do you have to get stuff with

Ok, I've got my Pro Tools Digi 002 coming in the mail any day now, plus I ordered a 2nd internal hard drive for my G4. I'm raring to go and really want to set up the best home studio I can for making professional sounding demos and even recording CD's for my band (hard rock leaning towards punk). So here's my quesion for you established home studio users out there...

I hope this will be simple for the many experts on this site. I want to make a home recording studio specifically for TALK RADIO, as I am the host of a daily program here in Milwaukee, WI known as God@Work.

The program is on AM radio and the format is talk only, pre-recorded, with the only music being at the very beginning of each segment.

Hi Guys,

After a certain (forced) absence from the site, I am finally coming to grips with my home studio.
I am in need of a mic preamp and a pair of monitors.

I have seen and heard (and liked, for that matter), the Focusrite ISA428. It also fits my budget.

This is my first post here so I would like to say hello to everyone. I've been looking for a forum like this a few days now and all I have to say is that I'm amazed by the content I found here.

Hi...
I want to buy a Mixer for my home studio that will be used to record artists in the near future that is capable of achieving professional results.

Im basically after something small.. I feel that 14 channels would be enough for the time being...I'm willing to spend about 300-350 (ebay figures lol) any recommendations?

I’m about to start work on an album but I want the best quality, over the years I’ve built a little home studio but I’m a rapper. I’m not a producer/engineer.
I have a small understanding of the technical side of recording and it’s so frustrating when I recorded something really good then I screw it up by mixing it wrong.

i have a budget of about 300$. and i would like to record at home. i have the softwares, and the music, all i need is a mic and something that connects it to my computer and gives a good quality sound rather tahn using the built in mic in and a radioshack microphone. I would also like the thing to have an input so i can record waht i am DJing.. because i also like to make mixtapes.

i have a partner that has has passive 20/20's. he's gonna upgrade to the asp8's.. passive or active soon.. but right now he has a problem mixing.. it takes him a while to get the right sound. could this be b/c the amp.. he has a pioneer home amp.. its like 120x5... he's only using 2ch of it..

I have a Roland SI-24 Studio Package Pro and will be using Logic and Sibelius to start with.

My computer whiz brother and I are building a pc to be a designated audio machine. This is what we came up with on my budget:

Intel Pentium 4/ 2.8C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512K Cache, Hyper Threading Technology

2 Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drives,
