Ninja kick the dam rabbit
ok, so...first off, PLEASE reply. (secondly i wasn't sure where to post this, and since it will most likely have a lot to do with mics, i posted it here.)
if i make the wrong choice here, im gunna kick myself later...hard.
i might be getting a good chunk of change, and i dont want to spend it the wrong way. ive been looking at mics, and other gear and i thought i should ask here what the best way to spend this money would be. since im sure alot of people here have been doing this longer than i have and, because of this, they will probably know what will be my best path.
as it stands right NOW i have: a custom drum kit, Taylor 710ce, Aphex 460, MXL 4000, MXL 603s, and the Audix D2s,D4 D6 and i5. and one 57. and im running Adobe Audtion on a Vista PC.
ok, now my one option, is get;
a few Neumann mics, like a u87,a couple SKM184's and a couple TLM-102's. as well as a new tayolr acoustic and taylor T5, an electric guitar as well, a stingray bass, guitar amps and bass amps and a DW kit, real piano and synthesizer and top that off with a Mac Pro computer
Option number 2 is: a full HD protools rig with c24 mixer, rack gear and maybe one or two mics.
my third option... is...well, its anything you guys can think of that would be better... maybe i should buy no instruments and just get alot of great mics and a less expensive protools set up? or just mics and a computer and spend the rest on sound treatments?
as it stands now i do record other bands (usually young people with cheap amps ,drums, and other gear) but i also do alot of my own recording. i write a lot of songs and i usually just have my acoustic and and my drums to work with... so ya..the instruments would be nice too... thats all the info i think you guys should need. if you need to know anything els let me know.
thanks so much for those who take the time to reply.
