My friend and I are finally taking the plunge into producing our own music after years of tip toeing around it and not being in the best position financially/personally to do so. I've been in the process of purchasing the equipment we need and also planning the acoustic treatment and soundproofing in the room I'll be using as a home studio in my apartment. We'll be producing music for different genres like Hip-Hop, R&B/Neo-Soul, Dark Wave, etc.. And I will also be producing/recording hardcore-punk for personal projects as I play drums, guitar, and bass. Both of our music tastes are very, very broad.
Below is the current equipment we have and would like to know what else we need/should get. For example: another interface, headphone amp, power conditioner, specific cables, etc. (nothing crazy expensive please, we don't have much left to spend)
