With the dizzying array of home studio choices available these days, what would you recommend for someone who wants to record easy to use, album-quality (potential indie release) on the cheap? "All-in-ones" like the Roland VS or Yamaha approach, ADAT, or computer-based recording.

I'm a drummer and I'm also planning to build my home studio. So, what you guys think about this set?
2 Marshall MXL 2001 (overheads, vocals...)
2 Marshall MXL 603S (hi-hats and snare)
and two opptions:
a CAD KitTrick with 4 mics (one for the bass drum)
or a Sennheiser E604 3 Pack and a AKG D112 or a Shure SM something-I-forgot :)?

It seems that everyone here has to deal with this eventually -- what are your tricks to tame small rectangular room problems?

I find smatterings of details for room treatments involving Owens Corning 703, but very few details on actual implementations.

What are people doing for a low cost solution? Are you hiring consultants to measure your rooms?
