...if you had a thousand bucks to spend? I hope threads like this aren't too repetitive for everyone, but I'll be spending about that much money this fall and am interested in people's thoughts, so thanks ahead of time for your input. I record acoustic and rock stuff mostly, and will have a couple of good rooms in my new house to do drums in. I've already invested in some good bass traps and room treatment, and while my monitors could use an upgrade (currently, they are the first series of Behringer Truths), I'd rather buy new monitors once I get some gear I'm happy with.
Anyway, I'm interested in mics, preamps, compressors...whatever you think. I record into Sonar 3.1 via an Aardvark interface.
My stuff as of today:
Toft ATC-2 pre/comp/eq
Altec 1589b pre
PAIA dual pre, modded w/ Burr Brown IC's and EH tubes
Peavey TMP-1 pre modded w/ Mullard and Tesla tubes (this is a full voltage single channel tube pre)
tc electronic m300 reverb
RNC
Rocktron 310g mono compressor (w/ something wrong with it that makes it distort absolutely incredibly on bass...it's the only reason I keep the thing racked up)
at4050
Blue baby bottle
2x ADK sc1 (small diaphragm condensors)
mxl v67g
Audix D6
Beyer m69
