Hello,
I'm setting up a home studio. I want to record rap vocals with the best possible microphone, pre, and sound card within my budget. I will be recording my rap vocals with the help of a sound engineer I am hiring.
INFORMATION REGARDING MY HOME STUDIO PROJECT:
My Computer Specs:
HP Vectra VL400
P3 Socket 370 (Tualatin 1.4Ghz)
512MB PC133 Infineon Sdram
80GB Western Digital IDE Hard Drive
100GB Western Digital IDE Hard Drive
LG Dual Layer DVD-RAM +/-/R/RW (x2)
Windows Xp Home w/Service Pack 2
Recording Software:
- Adobe Audition v1.5
- Cubase SX v2.0
Budget:
- $500 Maximum for all items including mic, pre, sound card, popper stopper, cables, and stand.
This is what a close friend suggested I buy:
- M Audio Audiophile 2496 (Sound card) $129
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TubeMPps
- ART Tube MP Project Series (Pre) $55

- Studio Projects B1 (Microphone) $120

Goal:
- To record commercial album quality rap vocals at home. Just so you know no booth will be used for some time. So recording will be in an open room. I will have a professional booth built later on.
QUESTIONS:
1. Would the list of equipment my friend suggested be sufficient enough to provide album sound quality for my home studio?
2. Please write a list that you would make for my home studio equipment within my $500 budget. (ie: mic, pre, sound card)
THE MICROPHONE IS MY MOST IMPORTANT ITEM. IF I GET A BAD MIC MY VOCALS WILL SOUND BAD. PLEASE HELP.
NOTE:
ANY REPLY BELOW WITHOUT AN INTELLIGENT RESPONSE HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY YOUR FELLOW COCKSUCKERS, NUT HUGGERS, AND BITCHES. HAVE FUN.
