Hi...new here

[Ipso Facto]

Been reading alot here lately and decided I'd join. I'm looking forward to learning alot and yes I will read through what's already been posted before bugging. Blue Bear and Massive Master your studios are ffing impressive.

Here's a modest pic of what I have:

Stuff:

Yamaha ProMix 01 mixer
Alesis passive M1 monitors
Layla 20 sound card (8 in 10 out)
Kawai K1 controller
PodXt
Korg O5R/W Midi Brain

Software:

Sonar 3
Drum kit from Hell Superior
Soundforge 6.0
Reason 2.0

All the recording I do is direct for $$$ reasons. If anyone sees anything I'm missing feel free to enlighten me. As of now I'm thinking of an external HD recorder. Anyways good to be here.

Welcome. This is a great site to learn and learn and learn.

You might trade off those Alesis monitors [I had a pair of those too] for a pair of the KRK passives ST8 [they have an 8 inch woofer] About the same dollars for the KRKs--or, you can scope out the active monitors too.

Your studio set-up looks neat and clean--like a CPA's office. Not a paperclip out of place.

Merry Christmas

Except he's busy playing SOLITAIRE!!!

Oh yeah, don't deny it...

That was the woman...really!

Monitors you say? If I'm powering the mixer and monitors with a decent amp (Which I'm not but if I was ) does that mean it wouldn't be necessary to get actives? Right now I have a crappy kareoke amp powering everything (*blush*). Is it safe to say that that's detrimental to what I'm hearing? What is a good mid to high range quality amp for powering a mixer?

Hi Ipso

It might affect the sound, but really what we need to know is this: Who cleans the Studio? It's the woman isn't it!!! Dude say it's the woman, or I'm gonna feel like such a slacker. I'm gonna go tidy while I wait for a reply.

 

[Ipso Facto]

Nope not the woman. She won't touch the studio. Kind of like asking a chick to clean your Harley isn't it? Get's you slapped. The pic is from when I got the table made. Imagine it with papers, cans, and dinner plates strewn over it and you'll be close.
