I think I have pretty much decided what I want to buy, but I want to make sure that I am not being too stupid about anything.
•The Digi002 Rack with the factory bundle. Are the built in preamps going to be quality enough for a wide range of applications (by quality, I mean good enough for a first time home studio).
•Two Shure KSM32's. It seems these can do many a thing, but for recording guitars, guitars amps, pianos, drums and vocals, does the only-cardioid pattern take away a lot of versatility.
•Yorkville YSM1-p monitors. I have heard good things about these monitors from this forum and from around the web, but how do they stack up against other monitors in their class?
•The Evolution 61 key midi controller. Can I assign the controllers to control different parts of ProTools and plug-ins (pan, dif. parameters of plug-ins)?
•The Extreme Isolation headphones. For miking everything, can these give me a 'just mic' sound? Are these a good deal for 100 bucks?
This is just about fillin' up the budget, so staying within this, give or take a hundred bucks, is there shuffling around that should be done? Am I spending too much or too little money or attention to something?
