Hello everyone, I want to expand my setup pretty extensively. I have a strict budget of $8000, and my goal to is ultimately open up a full scale studio. These purchases are a middle ground as I'm trying to build credit for the business so I can expand further down the road. Ideally, I'd like to make as many permanent purchases as possible (I view a good preamp or mic as a more lifelong investment than say a AD/DA box), but I'm going nuts with options, and I also don't want to have a great front end and shit for converters...so I need some advice on a good middle ground really. Here's my setup so far:
-Rooms are built per Rod Gervasis's book and have a good sound/acoustic treatment.
DAW:
-Apple Dual G4, 2gigs RAM 80gigHD & 120gig HD
-M-Audio BX8's
-Logic Pro
-Reason 3
-Drumagog
-Sonalksis Comp & EQ
-Izotope Ozone & Trash
-Bias Sound Soap
MICS:
-AT 4060
-AT 4050 (2)
-SM7
-AKG D112
-SM Beta 52
-SM 57 (6)
-Senn e602 Silver
-Oktava mc-012
-Groove Tubes GT55
PRES:
Brick
INSTRUMENTS:
-DW Drums w/ Zildjian K Custom Darks
-Gibson LP Studio
-Epi LP
-Spector Rebop Bass
-Sovtek MIG 100 Head
-Mesa Single Rec
-Ampeg CL Head
-Mesa 4x12
-Ampeg 6x10
I was using a Firepod for an interface, but it recently shit the bed...so I definately need an interface. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
