help with new gear

[sashamon]

aloha,

this is my first post to this forum. i have read around a bit and done my own research but some help would be great. i am looking for some advice on my next purchaces. i have a digi 002 rack, tc electric power core running on my g4 powerbook. i want to record my band. possibly as a trio (drum, bass, guitar (di with pod) then over dub percusion and who knows what else. the music we play varies from mostly reggae/hawaiian to punk/funk. i am looking at the presonus digimax fs to go into my digi 02. would that be better and more versatile than say a good small mixer? i think it will be. i am also looking for advice on some drum/all around mics. i have a rode nt1, a couple a shure 57s a 58 and a cheap behringer condenser.
i was looking at the akg d112 for kick. the reggae thump? still unsure about overheads. should i go big (relatively) and get a octava mk-012 matched pair. or another rode nt1. or would i do just as well with the mxl 603 or akg perception 150's? also looking at a pair of the akg c430. am i missing anything obvious.. dont want to be spending more money than i need to but want to have some gear i can use for some years. oh..i gots to go...surfs up!!


mahalo and peace,

sasha

Too many questions, head exploding. I like Josephson C42's for OH's and an ATM25 for kick. And mixers are always handy to have if you play in a band.

I agree I really dont know what you are mainly asking. For overheads maybe just get another NT-1 and then for the kick theres alot of options you dont go into a pricee range so my vote is for the shure beta52.
