Speck ASC is revered as a great EQ for $500 USD. Do you really need an outboard reverb unit? I mean they make plugs as good as outboard anymore. Do you have a UAD-1 card? That could be a nice addition for FX and stuff. I don't know what they cost now a days. Look into it. If an outboard...

Hey Sec. Tell us what you've currently got to work with because quite frankly, 150 clams won't do jack for putting "essentials" in your rack. My suggestion, if you're serious about this, is you always need at least two channels for stereo recording so: ~Assuming you have at least 2 mics...

I've spent a good deal of money with musician's friend over the years. Back when they first started the MF credit card thing. I don't care for them anymore. I'd order from AMS or Sweetwater before I order from MF again. I had a half decent experience with Music 123, but I won't do that again...

Tell it a funny joke to lighten the mood. Then say sweet things to it, gently caress it, and keep an adoring gaze on it for a good 10 minutes. That should warm it up and get it ready to handle. :D Seriously, I read your post and I thought, "Are you sure it's not broken?" Even through my...

I tell you, there are some good suggestions here. Mics: Microtech Geffell M930 Soundelux U195 AT 4050 Beyerdynamics m160 Shure KSM 44 Pres: Great River ME-1NV Hardy M1 Speck MP5.0 Any of the possible combos would be an upgrade and a good one. Question: What's your converter? The US-122...

I love this one. "Excuse me Stewardess, I speak Jive." - Airplane. :D Reminds me - I need to buy that DVD. Thanks!

Nobody, that I've read, talks about how wonderful stock roland pres are. You for sure would be doing yourself a favor by getting at least 8 good quality pres and a collection of higher end mics. Why only 8? Well, 8 is all you need to record a drum kit and the stock pres can be used for...

This thrizead is off da hook, yo! I'm lovin' it. Keep it rollin!!

Preach it, Brotha! I like rap like Pillar which is more quasi-metal/rap stuff. and KJ-52 which I think is more like straight up hip hop. I was a rapper in jr. high school. I thought I was pretty good too. Then the 90's came and it was all about rock/grunge/metal for me. I've changed again...

Moses was a rapper? :D Seriously, rappers shouldn't be offended by this thread. No. 1 - it's more true than not and No. 2 - that can only add to your credibility as an artist. Who wants a rapper who doesn't rap about au'dat gangsta shiznit any way. Well, I do but that's beside the point...

Well, if you don't have to have all of them at once, this looks interesting... http://www.mercenary.com/rajhideradis.html That plus 8 radial j48's and you've got a nice looking 8 channel DI for $1560. A line mixer won't allow you more than a stereo output. 2 stereo outs at best. For 8 ins...

If you can't make a rapper sound good through a $1000 mic, it ain't gonna happen by adding more G's. I'd suggest you audition several mics and pick the one that sounds best with your pre. It's the only way to make the wisest decision. You will however need a $5000 pop filter which I happen to...

Take your $400 bucks and turn it into $800. Then take the $800 and turn it into $1600 and then you'd be able to make a substantial improvement to your recordings. Audio Technica 4040 FMR RNP Mackie 624 Monitors You'd be better served putting that money to work for you in some kind of...

You definitely want a pro to set up the guitar for you. String weight plays a larger roll in intonation and action in a floating trem than in stop bar set ups. Also, don't plan on drop tuning with a floating trem. Maybe with one of those EVH d-tuna's, but don't expect to just reach up and...

You win the award for the dumbest thing I've read today too. :D

4 small rooms in that space? Even two rooms will sound horrible! At least with my option, you could take it all down and out with you when you left. Take your money and go to a studio that's already up and running. Forget having one of your own until your space is secured. Side note: Why...

For sure, this is what you should do... Build stud walls and fill the whole cavity (outside the frame) with fiberglass or mineral wool. Then, instead of Drywall or sheetrock, put up fabric that has been sprayed with fire retardant. You can get burlap real cheap. hang clouds of absorbers over...

Is the room adjacent to your front yard, back yard, side yard? If you have the ground space for it, a 10' by 12' wooden shed type of thing could be utilized for a drum room. Build it then throw down a rug, put up 703 everywhere, duct in some air from your existing A/C and BAM! You've got a...

How about this...

Why not try Old School Audio stuff. They are said to be in the vein of API only cheaper. Start building a lunchbox. Initial investment is like 1300 but then every channel after that is only 500-600. www.atlasproaudio.com
