I have been slowly building up my modest home studio for several years now. I play guitar (drums, keyboard, etc) and since my various bands fell through I have become a one-man band with my computer. I am a college student and am looking for some reasonably priced rack equipment.
I have some decent equipment (Mackie 32.8, M-Audio Delta 1010 on a sweet custom built computer, etc) and as a result, my friend's band has asked me to record their CD in my studio. I do have enough equipment to do it and I think it has the potential to sound pretty good, but I have never recorded a band before and I'm a little intimidated...
I have a graphic EQ and a cheaper digitech "studio quad" effects unit in my rack, but I want to know:
What are some home studio staples in the rack?
What rack units are a must have in this line of work?
I appreciate any feedback on this.
