I'm probably really asking for it with this post.......
Yes, I know about developing a good ear, learning the gear that I own, capturing a great performance, room treatments, practicing, etc.
I would like your opinions and comments on the gear that I own. Is everything suitable? Are there any dinosaurs? Does anything stand out as being obsolete, low quality or missing? If I had, say, $500 to spend, what would you recommend for equipment that would help me the most in my recording endeavors?
I currently write and record one or two instruments or vocals at a time and don't have a control room, but wish to expand someday into a setup that will allow me to record full drums and bands.
Mac Mini w 4GB of RAM not expandable
Logic Pro X
External hard drives USB
Focusrite Scarlet 2i4
ART TPS II channel strip
Samson S Com 4 compressor
KRK Rockit 8's
AT 2035
MXL V63MBP
Shure SM58B
Shure SM57
Sennheiser e815S
Do I have a decent setup?
