Just like a car. It says $18,000 with $250 a month payments......


Tax, Title, License, Insurance.........not enough credit


Now its $500 a month.






Plus gas.


Maybe thats why the old beaters are so close to our hearts.

dietcookie,

Welcome to the world of home recording. Before long you'll want/need another kind of mic, then you'll need a better mic pre, then you'll need a better compressor and a better effects unit and better monitors and a better mixer, etc, etc, ectc etc, etc ........................

Like many people I started with two cassette decks, a cheap mic and a keyboard - now many years latter, I've got $40,000 in gear and I still want more.

If you don't piss it away on gear, you'll piss it away on something else.

You can say that again.

I'm pretty happy with my $5,000 recording setup, though I wouldn't complain if someone saw fit to donate a Soundelux Elux 251 and a Great River MP 2-NV to the "cause."
