I've recently made a few additions to my studio and wanted to get some feedback. I never felt like I had enough equipment until now. I went all out (on my budget I guess) and got some monitors; The Yamaha HS80M's, The M Audio BX5a's and for some bottom, a JBL SUB 12 Venue Series 12" 500-Watts Powered Subwoofer. I also picked up a Gateway 22in monitor and a Motif es6. These additions fit nicely with what I already had. A Mackie 32x8 mixer, Alesis QSR, Korg TR Rack, EMU Vintage Keys, Roland XP- 10, Mac G4 running DP4.5 and an Akai MPC 2000xl.
Now that I have all this stuff I'm not feeling inspired. I've taken vitamins and everything but I just don't hear anything in my head right now. So I just sit back and admire my cool looking studio.
I'm a firm believer that you don't have to get the latest toys on the market to make hot music, just master the stuff you have. Maybe that's why it took me so long to get to this modest upgrade. I'm into creating Rap, R&B and Neo Soul. So what do ya think? Do I have all of my bases covered in here?
