I've decided to record a full-length acoustic CD (with some electric additives as well as pianos) under the alias Shears to You. I figured it would be cheaper to just go ahead and record it myself. A lot of my friends have studios in their homes, and I kinda wanted to see what it was all about. I purchased a pretty modest setup, but it does the job. I'm recording in a Fostex MR-8, using an MXL 990 condenser for vocals and an MXL 991 condenser for micing my acoustic. It's nothing impressive, but it's getting the job done. Now, my questions are these:
(1) I am looking for some cheap monitors that will give a decently accurate representation of the final product. Any suggestions?
(2) I like my MR-8 for what it has, but I would like a little more control over the mastering. The good thing about the MR-8 is its ability to convert your recordings into WAVs. Is there any software anyone would recommend that I could import the files into?
Check out a couple of the demos I've recorded here and give me whatever feedback you have. Thanks a lot.
