Hi guys.
I need advice on what equipment to get for a home studio that i am setting up.
I record mostly ambient, rock n pop but i have always wanted the ability to mix it with synthetic sounds like ambient strings and synths. I have absolutely no idea how midi works or how to add synthetic tones to my mix. I have explored the idea of using a synth keyboard like the novation mininova or microkorg but it seems too confusing. That said, i do prefer using a physical instrument/controller rather than creating sounds entirely on a software
I use cubase 5 on Windows 10 and i have a focusrite scarlet 18i20 audio interface (i want to shift to a smaller unit as long as it allows me to record drums), mackie cr3's and a pair of sony mdr 7506 headphones
I want to make a simple and compact studio which gives me the ability to conveniently and simply record:
1. Ambient strings and Synth sounds with flexible control over their character and tone (preferably from a guitar instead of a keyboard - since i play guitar better, but i can also invest in a keyboard as well)
2. record electric guitar via a multieffects processor
3. Record acoustic guitar/violin using a microphone
4. Record vocals
5. Record e-drums from an alesis kit (on individual tracks instead of a premixed stereo signal since i believe that will give me more freedom in the mix)
6. Record e-drum beats on a beat production module
Any help and advice is much appreciated
Thanks!!!
