I have a small home Studio with an 001. I am planning on cutting demo's and ideas for my band in my studio and want to get a good sounding mic preamp (2 channels) and a couple of mics (or 1 stereo mic) to use on overheads. I only got 1000-1500 to spare... any ideas?

I'm planning to make my home studio soon, and I was wandering, if someone out there is making money from their home studio? How do you deal with the "strangers" in your home sweet home? Any other thoughts/insights about pros and cons to have your own home studio and bring outside people as "customers"? Thanx!

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.

Which console you guys recommend for a home studio?

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?

Just an observation here.

We have tried to get the major recording studios ( the ones governed by record labels) to add their studios to RO ( http://www.recording.org ) but have yet had one comments from any of them. The indie studios are very supportive.
