My shy studio set-up, need opinion

[destriaero]

Just decided to put it out there to see if anyone can suggest any adjustments? Let's keep in mind I have basically no room treatment, but the room is a medium size with not too much reflectivity. But yeah it sucks... stupid apartments. My computer is also hell outdated but it handles what I do with it.

I do mostly singer/guitar/bass recordings which this suits, with some midi sequencing post. All prices in Canadian dollars and most items bought used minus maybe the ovation.


Based on this set-up i wanted some opinions on what to invest into next:
1) A firewire mixer.
2) M-Audio Axiom 25 keys
3) More microphones.
Budget is.... 200$

Mics
---------
Apex 430 Condenser (50$)
Some Hong Kong pencil condenser (20$)
Peavey Dynamic Mic (Almost never used) (50$)
On the way - Naiant X-Q. (50$)

Instruments
---------
Epiphone Les Paul SE II (125$)
Ovation Celebrity CC-28 (400$)
Some Canadian acoustic with a mounted piezo (free just somehow ended up in my hands)
Ibanez Roadstar - In repair - from beginning of 80's. ($50)
Epiphone Junior Bass - My first instrument. (200$)
Some assortment of flutes and recorders.

Controllers
----------
M-Audio Radium 49 (125$)

The rest
----------
Speakers = Behringer MS40 (~200$)
Mixer = Behringer UB1202 (100$)
Pedals = Digitech BP200 (200), Boss DS-1(100), Boss TU-2(120).

what was the point in including the prices of everything? Dude obviously you just want to spend money to spend money, save up and buy a new computer, or save up and get the firewire you were talking about. I don't even know why I'm giving advice on this to you other than I'm bored, I voted for the Crack by the way, seems like the thing to do.

Looks like everyone agrees by buying some crack you dont need better gear it all just seems that much better and 200 bucks of crack is good enough to get you through a session

I would buy the axiom and pirate a copy of reason... then you dont need the mics, because you could midi everything! Plus... you could make "dope ass gangsta beats"... and there are lots of people that would give you crack for those beats... 2 birds... one stone... and a bag of rocks.

but pirating copies of anythings bad my friend
