Hey guys Lou here,
As most of us are awaiting our tax returns, I'm looking into finally putting my full studio together. The space is a pretty large room with a pitched ceiling. I will update this post with exact dimensions as soon as I can stop by the building. For now I'm looking for information on all the essential equipment needed in recording a full band. I'm talking drums, guitar, vocals, bass, and random other instruments such as congas and piano's. I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck, but the first priority is to achieve a good sound. My budget is somewhere under $2000 and to make this easier I'm going to list the gear I already own. I know some of it will have to be replaced so here it is -
Custom PC 4GB ram / 3.7Ghz AMD Phenom Black Edition
M-Audio Bx8a monitors
M-Audio Mobile Pre Interface 2 ins/outs
Alesis 3630 compressor
Art EQ351
BBE Sonic Maximizer 482
Presonus HD7 headphones
and also a few midi controllers.
Alright so if anyone can please just put together a list of these bare essentials for recording a decent quality album, it would be greatly appreciated. If any of the gear listed happens to be for sale in our forum, feel free to post a link!
Thanks in advance for the help and support guys,
Lou
