I am planing on taking my "hobby" to the next step when I return from what will be my last tour in Iraq. I have 5 tours now and have managed to learn quite a bit about recording, sound engineering, and mastering. Of course, I started this hobby about 10 years ago, but have made the most progress in the past 5. I have been using cakewalk since Pro Audio 9 was all the rage. I have messed with Pro-Tools and Ableton. Not a big fan. I know, everyone lives or dies by Pro-Tools. I just really like what Sonar (currently running 7 producer) has to offer. It is comfortable i guess. On to the point of this thread.
I have been looking at the new Sonar V-Studio to serve as the cornerstone of my new studio. I will have a very modest budget of approx. $7000 and will be putting it all together in July 2009. I will be running my DAW on a new desktop computer (4GB RAM, 1TB 7500 RPM SATA, Quad Core Intel 2 ghz). My goal is to get great sounds and be able to produce some good masters. I am also considering the UAD-2 Solo Flexi, and the UA LA-610. Currently, I have a bunch of low-end stuff (UX1, Focusrite Trakmaster Pro, KSM44, Sony Vaio Laptop) Okay the KSM 44 is not really low-end but the rest is probably not usable for professional sound.
Shameless plug in 5,4,3,2...
