I used the Lucid converters for quite some time, before switching to my Zed R16 board that I use now. I also had RME ADI converters. I preferred the Lucid's over the RME's so they got the most use unless I needed more channels. Love lucid converters!

I just sold a Shiva head a few months ago. Didn't care for it either so you're not the only one. The loop was the big let-down for me. I ended up with an Axe-FX.... something to think about. I have no regrets at all. It is awesome!

Price should have been agreed upon before-hand. Otherwise it's hard to say. Does he do this as a business or just a hobby? I think it would be his call if he wants to charge you.

Honestly, i would skp it and just get a decent kick mic. I built one and it sounds great, does the job well but i find myself hardly ever using it anyway.

No not at all. I actually did quite a bit of research before deciding on this. You could also go with a dual or quad core system for a little bit cheaper and I'm sure it would be awesome. I just thought for a little bit more I wouldn't have to upgrade for quite some time hopefully.

I just upgraded a computer this week. I went with the new Intel based i5 system and a gigabyte board, 550 watt power supply, 4gb ddr3 ram and a decent video card. Cost me about $575 but I will get $50 back with rebates. Just to give you an idea this is what I went with, bought everything at...

I second the Dynaudio Bm5a .

Good to hear your's came out ok

Samplitude's Ammunition plug. I haven't seen anything better.

You haven't mentioned one of the most important things- monitors. You need decent monitors unless you already have them.

Yeah the shockmounts are somewhat troublesome. I've found a great solution by using some heavy-duty large rubber bands in place of the stock bands that come with it. Doesn't look quite as good but who cares, sounds great and holds the mic better. Well I would probably use the sm7b before the...

From what I understand you can eq the Vienna just a bit to get it to sound like a Hamburg but you can't eq the hamburg to sound like the Vienna. I read this review somewhere I just can't remember where but this is why I went with the Vienna. They are very similar though so either would work...

You could switch to led . See my post here, they really look 100% better https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=284774&highlight=meter+lights

Be careful if you end up using discmakers. See my thread https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=286438&highlight=discmakers They totally screwed me over.

Axe-fx is pretty much the only thing worth it right now, otherwise just mic your amps.
