Hello all.

I have a $3,000 budget to purchase some new gear and would like some recommendations from you all on gear to expand my studio setup.

Hello there.

I'm looking for the simplest thing possible to let me use my Alesis HR-16 (because it's the simplest thing possible and I'm the simplest thing possible), but get better drum sounds. The idea of MIDI'ing it to an Alesis DM5 seems like the obvious answer.

Hi,
I'm in the process of getting a new DAW and wanting to get some advice on what LCD monitor to purchase.

I've only owned CRT monitors in the past and not sure what to look for in a LCD monitor for DAW use. I'm wanting something that's easy on the eyes with crisp text.

What brand, size, and model number LCD monitor do you use or recommend?

Hello, I am new here and wanted some good advice for a MIcrophone to hook up my upright Piano. I am in a recording school right now but won't be in the good classes for atleast a few more months. I want so start laying down tracks NOW! So I know I probably want a condensor Mic. A good one that will get a good full recording. My budget for a Mic is around $400.

hi guys, ive been contemplating buying myself a classical guitar to have in my room since i wore out my old one and now i need one for a couple of recordings were doing. so i figured id ask here first. any brands you could recommend that you think are well made, great sounding guitars? I'm thinking of spending about 400$ average. what do you suggest?

My studio is looking to add a pair of small diaphragm condensers to our "closet". Probably the two biggest uses they will have will be as overhead/room mics or for acoustic guitar/instruments. But they should as versatile as possible.

Here's my rig:

A few decent mics->4 channel tube pre->Delta 1010->3GHz P4->Cubase SL3...etc.

I am looking for a dual channel pre-amp in the price range of $300-$500. I want a preamp that will add a lot of warmth with low noise to a variety of instruments and vocals. It needs to be good quality and something that I can be happy with for a long time. If you have a recommendation could you please let me know what it is.

Why is it that when ever I read information on building a PC DAW the parts that are recommended are outdated parts? It seems that it is done with everything from Mother board to RAM?

Why are nForce 3 boards recommended over nForce 4?
Socket 754 over 939?
Single channel Ram over Double channel?
AGP graphics over PCI-E?

hello,

but i know that are the great flat monitors and high quality designed.
