I am hoping that someone will be able to help me (and my band) out with this situation. This may be slightly long winded: but I want to setup the scenario as best as I can... and I'm new, so please keep that in mind :)
Here's the deal:

what would all of you recommend as a $1000.00 beginers mic closet? there was an article in Recording a few years ago with that general idea. i think (can't find that issue now) the writer recomended a beyerdynamic m88 and a pair of octavia mc 012s. with the flood of low cost microphones in the last few years i'm wondering what might be appropriate now.

Im totally new at this recording thing. But by reading and watching Im trying to build a studio. I dont know that much but I would be thankful if you told me what are the basics things for me to start.

hello all,
i'm new to this site but looks good so far. anyways, i'm a recording engineer and have been for over 20 years. have just purchased my first studio in midtown manhattan :) it's a nice 24 track analog room with a good amount of vintage gear, have also added in a Pro Tools HD II system. just trying to get the word out.
it's:: studio 900

This will be my first scratch build dedicated DAW. Ive searched around the forums but still have many questions - I'm sorry if these have been gone through before.

I do not need up to the minute performance - Im trying to do this on my college student budget. Something based around a P4 2 - 2.4 processor would be ideal. I have all the accessories, OS etc. - all I need is a box.

Hi Guys!

Greetings,

Hello all,

First,

let me thank Opus and everyone here for all the great info.

I have decided to take the plunge and build my own DAW. Based on my research this is what I plan to buy (from newegg of course).

Im using the 001 PC platform.
would I be better off if:

A) using my FMR RNP/RNC (2 pre's), my ART Pro MPA (2pre's), my dbx 376 (1pre), and my 001 (2pres) 7 total pre's for drums (thats all I'll need)... and purchasing the RME ADI 8 Pro $1100.00 to run with my various mic preamp's
