I have a single Marshall MXL 603s on Ebay. It only has a few hours use and is in perfect condition. Starting price of $40 and a Buy It Now price of $48, plus $7 shipping continental U.S. only. If you have trouble locating it, let me know. The listing reads Marshall Electronics MXL 603...

It depends. What mics do you have now ? Is there anything that those mics won't do well ? What are you tracking ? The AT4033 is a great mic. I've owned half a dozen condensers but none compare to the AT4033. Maybe that's because it cost more than the others I bought.......hmmmm...

Sounds like a really nice guitar. The same thing happened to me at Guitar Center, I just wandered into the nylon-string section and I knew I had to have one. They have beautiful tone.

I like that rack, all within arms reach of the master keyboard. Who makes that ?

The Presonus is good and the Grace is good, but they are clean and neutral sounding like your TMD4000 and I don't know how much of an upgrade they are. A Great River or Vintech Dual 1272 might give you that thicker vocal sound, more attitude. Universal Audio M-160 might be a good choice...

The SM57 has a hypercardoid pattern, so I think it's good at rejecting sound outside of it's pattern. Most of the time with a dynamic mic it's gonna be almost right on the grill or a few inches back, so the room acoustics don't matter much. If you do want some of the room sound, use a...

Re: sequencer I think so. I really don't know too much about SONAR, but if you buy a synth without an onboard sequencer it usually saves you money. Yamaha Motif Rack and a basic 61-key controller, $1200 Used Korg Karma, probably close to your $1000 budget Roland XV-5050...

Just to clarify, you want a sequencer onboard ?

Delay is an essential effect for ambient guitar. Experiment with it's various parameters. You don't even really have to know what you are doing, sometimes just turning the knobs or buttons you can find great sounds. Chorus, phase shifting, flanging, Leslie/rotating speaker, Uni-vibe...

I'm interested in modeling preamps because they might end up being good for direct recording with synths, POD's, drum samples, bass guitar, etc. To add color and character.

It's all very subjective. The 01/W's filters were less bright and a bit "rough" sounding and that is a good thing IMHO, but the effects were poor and characterless. The Triton has a sound that is more "high fidelity" and detailed, with much better effects qualities. The 01/W and the...

Trust your ears. Maybe even try playing the various preset amp models without even looking at the J-Station, so that your mind isn't telling that that it is wrong to play a bass guitar through a Fender Blackface for instance.

Motif ES Yamaha just announced a new line of Motif workstations and they have some very impressive features. I'll be very tempted to try one. They have the Triple Strike Piano like the S-90 has, more samples devoted to orchestral sounds, 175 MB in ROM, more insert effects, twice the...

I would invest in a preamp because it will supply +48 phantom power, function as a direct box for bass guitar, make your dynamic mics sound great, etc.

I would look at some of the threads in the "Other Equipment and Reviews" section here at homerecording.com. I don't know what the good inexpensive monitors are.

Because monitors are just about the most important component in a home studio. Before you consider exciters and outboard compression or anything , buy a pair of active nearfield monitors. Your mixes will improve greatly and so will your enjoyment of recording.

yech, do you have nearfield reference monitors ?

You have good mics for country and rock music, but if you are serious about recording choirs and live jazz groups, a good quality pair of small diaphram condensers should be a priority. I'm not really an expert on what to buy for that application.
