any opinions

hi there,

i finally got tired of being limited by my 4 track hd recorder.
i just went nuts on ebay and bought the following:

** mackie 24x8 board (w/meter bridge)
** 3 echoaudio darla24 cards (synchable) (with 3 balanced 8 channel snakes to bridge the pc and the breakout boxes)
** dell p4 2.1ghz PC with 500mb ram and 60gb hd
** sony trinitron 21" monitor
** cakewalk sonar 2.1xl
** argosy 70 series console desk for the 24x8

i guess since ive come this far
now i need:

studio monitors
good mics

anybody have any experience with a similar setup to the one ive aquired and can you provide me feedback on how well or poorly this configuration works?

also, anybody have any good advice on studio monitors and mics that are good but not ridiculously expensive?

i am no sound engineer (yet). i have much to learn and any help, advice, comments, etc are appreciated.

thanks,
alex

Purchase the Mackie HR624's monitors.

How much did you pay for your Argosy 70 series console desk?


Peace.

Ringo

Check out the KRK V8's. They are totally awesome, and I love my set. Very clean, very true. They are available on Ebay for about $850/pair used. Peace - Mitch
