Just a Home Recorder
I just wanted to get some opinions of where I can improve or what I can add that would make the biggest difference in my recordings. Here's a run down of what I do have.
Interface(s):
Echo Layla 3G (currently inoperable)
M-Audio Firewire Solo
Pre(s):
Studio Projects VTB-1
M-Audio DMP3
Built in M-Audio Pre
ART Tube MP (had this thing for years I never use it though)
Mic(s):
Shure KSM27
AKG C300B
MXL V93M (aka 2003)
Shure SM7
Monitors:
M-Audio BX5's (not bx5a)
M-Audio DX4's (strictly for portability)
Cables:
Mogami Gold Series XLR
Mogami Silver Serier Instrument Cables
Musicians Friend Tweed Instrument Cables
CBI Instrument Cables
Software:
Adobe Audition
A bunch of plugins
Room Treatment:
Auralex Foam
I was thinking of adding a compressor to the chain, I have around $300 to play with (maybe a bit more if need be). I was going to get Protools M-Powered for $250 but I think I'd rather add or upgrade gear. What do some of you guys think? I am open to all suggestions. Also by any chance does anyone know where I could find just a breakout box for the Layla 3g? I contacted Echo but they dont sell them seperate from the PCI card and cable.
