For me it's a question of math. If I want to purchase A, B, C, and D with X amount of money then paying too much for A means that I'm not going to be able to swing C, and D. I'm dropping approx. $5K worth of gear on my daughter's studio. If 1/5th of that went to flush out Apple's bottom line...

Personally I'm biting on the Ableton (Akai) Push. I'm rationalizing the hell out of it by telling myself I'm getting a drum machine, a pad controller, and an Ableton LIVE control surface all wrapped up into one. The Studio has more sounds no question.

Great review and good info.

$3K!!! Yowsa. She's gonna have to stick with something a good bit cheaper for the foreseeable future.

I think what you have is fine until you can spring for a N.I. Maschine.

Not quite as good as everyone else.

Any suggestions? Interesting.

Nice sound for clip-on mics!

Ohhhh... a Red One. No Scarlet? No Epic? Not even a Blackmagic? Pffff.... Here's one of his videos. Kind of like WMS The Sultan with higher production values and a profundity of vocal effects.

So if I'm getting this (I'm pretty dense) you have a mediocre interface, a mediocre keyboard MIDI controller, a mediocre pad MIDI controller, a pair of mediocre monitors, a decent LDC microphone, and a pair of headphones. You have $3.5K (in theory), you need a decent keyboard, and you want to...

Pulled the trigger on the Casio PX-350. It'll be here next week.

Though I have heard of Schoeps shotgun mics (very $$$$) being used in v.o. productions (they're aimed at the chest) generally speaking shotguns aren't used for interior productions. The exact technical reason escapes me and I'm too lazy to refresh my memory but it's true none-the-less. Lots of...

I'll just throw this out; I was expecting more growl, more emotion in that song. Not sure if that makes sense. Nice voice, I just don't think that particular song plays to your strengths.

You need to have a number of posts behind you I believe though exactly how many I don't know. Two questions... Is that deliberate cleverness or simply a spelling error? Would you tell the truth regardless?

And this touches on one of the problems I have with deciding where to throw my money. When I look at what's available it always comes down to samples and triggers. I can buy just the samples (e.g., N.I. KOMPLETE 8 Ultimate), just a trigger (e.g. Korg microKEY, Akai MPK88), or a trigger that...

Just one guy's opinion and assuming a low-ball budget An Intel i3-3225 (HD 4000 graphics!) based motherboard w/8GB RAM, 500GB to 1TB HDD, FireWire (1394a) or Thunderbolt nice, USB 3.0 very nice. Focusrite Scarlet 8i6 or Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 Ableton LIVE Intro 8 ($75 from B&H) or...

Depends on what Behringer comes out with it in the next six months or so.

Up to a maximum discount of $500... which means that something at Guitar Center costs $25,000...

Oh Heavens. Tuck Mr. Happy away, I'm not looking for a pissing contest. This thread was simply to draw attention to the results of a shootout by a respected industry source. I use my SM7B with a Sound Devices USBPre 2 for voiceover, which... at $425 per channel... better blow all of the...
