I want to start my own home/project studio. I'm using a PC based system w/ Cakewalk, Cubase, and a few others. I have a Lexicon Core 2 sound card, and a few decent mics. My question is, where do I go from here? Some people tell that the first thing I need to get is good mixer, but I don't really see the point starting out because all the software I have comes with virtual mixers, and once I record the music on my PC, I can do all mastering and CD burning on it. I'm thinking about getting some nice studio monitors, but since I'm new to this I thought I would ask people who have been around for awhile. Any help would be much appreciated.
