Yeah, I might just use my closet for now, use carpet on the ceiling. I don't have the resources to build my own studio or anything like that. I'm often conflicted about whether I should buy entry level equipment or just buy something expensive so I don't have to spend money upgrading, even...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I read somewhere that a studio really starts and builds piece by piece, not all at once. I think I'm trying to do/get everything at once, and I don't really have a reason to be rushed at all. I'm going to focus on the basics first and focus on room acoustics later...

Invest in better sound treatment? I plan on recording in my 13.5' x 12; x 8' bedroom. I'm debating whether to get a Rode NT1-A and get some Auralex pads for the corners of my room, or just get one AT4047 and no Auralex pads. My main concern is that I don't like having to buy things knowing...

I'm new to computer recording. What would I need to hook up a Firebox to this laptop? Here're the other things I'm planning on getting: 1 AT4047s or 2 AT4033s, still haven't decided yet. 2 KRK RP-5 monitors Sony MD-R headphones FL Studio for drum tracks? Could I use Cubase that comes with the...

I'm still trying to decide if I want to get a pair or just a really nice one. I'm going to use a Firebox for the audio interface. I'm limiting myself to $1000 total. Studio monitors are going to cost me another $300. I could get two AKG Perception 200s, or I could get one AT4033CL. I've also...

I want to start a studio in my bedroom, but don't know what I need to do to minimize noise. Don't some people try to record in wardrobes as a cheap solution?

Do most people just use this as a scratchpad for ideas, not for transferring to computers and sharing? Is it only worth it as a scratchpad in your opinion?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to reconsider things in the long term. Will PCI ever become completely obsolete? I also have a newer computer that has PCI-Xpress....though I'm not sure if that's for a graphics card. Is PCI compatible with this? I'm now also considering going for the...

You should look up Norman guitars. They're handcrafted by Godin, the same company that makes Seagulls; it's just a different label. All of their guitar are under $1000. A lot of people recommend them for their rich tone. A lot of people compare them with the rich bass of Martins and the crisp...

It's 2 Ghz and only has 256 MB RAM. I wanna upgrade it to 1 gig. I'm planning on ditching my previous Firebox plan. I really have no idea if I'd be better off quality-wise using firewire or with PCI; I just know that PCI would be a lot cheaper for me. I might go with the M-Audio Audiophile...

Nice, how did you get the sound, and how much did it cost?

Okay, now that I have more money, I'm setting my budget at $400. I'm going to get two MSH1's + an LD for vocals. I'm considering the MXL V63M, largely because it comes free with a PreSonus Firebox (I'm going to get an interface instead of a standalone multitracker) for $300 on musiciansfriend...

Wow, the Naiant does sound really good on guitar. And I can't believe how little money I'd have to shell out for two of them. What would you recommend for piano and a hand drum like a djembe? I've been hearing good things about the AT 2020. Or I could just use Naiants for them. I'm also...

A very simple solution would be to download Audacity for free, buy a cheap mic, import the song, set Audacity to play while record, then just record your vocals, then export it again.

I'm going to be recording myself on vocals, cello and acoustic guitar with a Tascam 40GB 8 track. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm planning on getting an MR8HD. I'm not sure if it has phantom power. I think it does though....yes it does. Would any preamp do? Like an ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp? Since, I'm just starting out, I don't want to spend too much.

Hi, I'm totally new to recording. I'm getting a Fostex 8-track. What would be better for recording guitar, piano, conga and cello? I'm planning to play all of these instruments myself. I know that having two mics opens up more possibilities for stereo imaging, but don't know if one excellent...
