Enchilada
Strange person.
Hey again guys!
After my last post I'm leaning toward keeping my PC as my DAW.
I'm planning to run a studio as a business and will most likely have a vast range of clients from acoustic duos, pop soloists, full bands of pretty much every genre, voice overs and ad jingles. I do have a budget though, I don't want to spend over $60,000
Here's what I have from my hobby studio days:
PC:
Phenom II X3 720
4GB RAM
1320 GB total hard disk space (planning to upgrade)
4GB RAM (planning to upgrade to 8GB)
Presonus Bluetube
M-Audio Delta 1010LT
MXL V67g
Studio Projects C1
2 x Behringer B5
2 x Behringer ecm8000
Shure SM57
Sennheiser e835
AT Pro 25
Behringer Multicomp Pro-XL MDX 4600 (not a great comp but I'll probably use it for drums)
Samson Resolv 40a active studio monitors
As far as mics go I'll probably just get a Neumann U87N because I've heard they're the dogs bollocks, a Shure beta 52 and some more SM57s
Here's my shopping list so far:
Neumann U87N
Shure beta 52
10 x Shure SM57
DBX 166 compressor
FMR Audio RNC1773 compressor
M-Audio Delta 1010 (hoping it will work alongside my 1010LT)
As far as preamps go I want a decent mixer to handle that. I also wish to route the outputs from the PC back into the mixer so I can use the faders for leveling.
I've been looking at the Allen & Heath GL2800 because it seems to have goot routing options and I've heard the have solid preamps and awesome faders.
Any other industry standard gear or gear that I "must have"
