ok ,,,i do hip hop
i work with
personus blue tube dp
rnc comp
m-audio delta 44
upgraded to lexicon lamda
mic is perception 100 akg

lookin for:
just a clear nice musical tone
a good mixtape quailty
i know and don't want to get studio quailty sound at home
(rather consentrate on songs)
suringe,,on myspace music for samples
and i'm working on a mixtape now


ok my question,,
i liked my set up for mixtapes,,and rough drafts
i'm building again from what i have,,,i'm lookin for more high end peices
(pre,mic,program,COMPUTER, ram,cpu,and maybe a chanel strip)
what brands and models in your home studio,,work well for you
or for any of the applications i listed
i'm tryin to get a sense of what most people are using
and what are the most reliable companies
 
What do you need to do just track vocals? other instruments? midi? and if you wanted gear recommended whats your budget if you dont mind me asking.
Just to get the ball rolling
 
i got booted off while editing my post so heres a second option

I picked these pieces cause I don't think you will ever grow out of them. If you change interfaces you can still use the onyx satellite as a good 2 channel mic preamp. I have about 20k in my studio and my 2,400 digital mixer now has a street value of about 500 bucks in near perfect condition. All I can say is the less digital the better my 20k studio is now worth about 12k. This will give you building blocks to work from and if you decide its not for you you will have a lot higher resale value then blowing 500 on a new pc and the latest 96or 192k converters. To me digital should be the very last upgrade in any studio
 
To drop vocals over imported beats just use Audacity
the best mic you can get for $500
& spend the other $500 creating a vocal booth or treated space to record the vocals in.
 
You need to have a dynamic mic for hip hop...an SM7 with a line 6 ux1 preamp will include Abelton live in the bundle...best setup for hip hop without blowing more than $1000.
 
thanks

one of the shure's huh?
does that work better for vocals than some condensors?
i heard about people using them,,but i always had it in my mind
that they were talking about onstage
you know what
im can do that,,so as soon as i get my next daw setup
i'm going to try it cuz it is very cheap
 
ya its a wicked mic a lot of people used and still use them in the studio such as pearl jam and i believe michael jackson for thriller if im not mistaken.
