Hi Guys -

I've had the chance to ask for help on studio monitors (and have settled for the MSP5), and now the next obvious question is on microphones ...

Considering I can't get anything too pricey, how do you feel these options compare (or if they're utterly useless) :

Marshall Elec. MXLV69LE
AKG C3000B
Shure KSM27/SL

If you were given a $4000 budget to equip a home studio, what would you buy? The client? a one-person song-writer who plays guitar, keys and sings. Uses a drum machine.

My goal is to see what "state-of-the-srt" is for home recording now.

After using a silly little USB microphone to record a number of demos, I think I'm ready to go all out and record.

I was jut wondering, if anyone here has started their own studio. What they started with, like both equipment and moneywise. And when you started chargin people, how dod you go about that, rates and stuff. Any info you have for me will be greatly appreciated.

I'm putting together a modest home "studio" for recording primarily voice and acoustic guitar. I'm thinking I'll get a Korg D1200 PDS. I'm considering two from the following: RODE NT1, Audio-Technica 3031, 3035 (are any good for either purpose? am I wasting money by not getting something better?).

My old Harmon Kardon 430 receiver and B.I.C. home stereo speakers from the '70s are really on their last legs. Now I'm sitting here wondering if it would be sensible to connect my home CD player, cable radio, and turntable in any known way to the rest of my studio gear - mixer, amp, live sound monitors. I know that my near-field monitors would not be my main listening speakers.

Well, I have embarked on a journey from which there is no return... I am building my own studio desk! Arrrrrggggg... :)

This has turned into a major pain in the ass, but when I finally get it finished, it should be worth it!

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and also fairly new to home studio recording. I'm in the process of building my studio and would like some advice on decent preamps for mic/guitar in the $300 range. What is everyone using? What's good, what's bad? Do I need an Avalon or Grace to get a good sound? Thanks for your help.

Have a good one!

How do you get more than 2 analog & 2 midi tracks displayed?

Tell me what I can build a home studio under $7000. Got a Amd 1.2 gig already. What is next..
