Ok guys I love this forum very much and everyone is soo helpful. That being said I trust you guys so much I want you guys to help me pick out a decent (decent as in affordable with decent quality). I plan on using this gear to record my new bands new album we are working on and also plan to sell studio time on the side for only $15 an hour (to help pay for more gear) to local Medford bands or musicians. A friend of mine is going to loan me commercial space (^^ connections rock) for the next year and I will be doing this with two other close friends who are helping me financial and musically.
I recently sold all my live equipment (old focus) and I am going into recording (new focus).
Heres what I have researched and chosen for sure: (suggestions welcome ofc)
Monster Power PRO 2500 Rack PowerCenter (no hum plox )
Motu 8pre Firewire Interface
Shure sm57 X 2 <--(my old ones were just recently stolen at a live show -.-. never loaning out again...)
PodFarm software (I'm broke)
ilok usb key
Now what I haven't chosen is:
Headphone Amp (musicians need to hear themselves ^^)
X4 headphones (^^ above)
Rack (to hold everything)
I plan to fill this rack with more things but really don't know the difference between a rack that's a good deal and one which is not. The same for the headphones and headphone amps (I think it has something to do with me being more worried on the recording process than the monitoring).
Also give me advice (if you would be so kind to) on the other things I shall need to purchase.
My plan is to have everything go through the interface (duh) and into my firewire port of my Macbook which is dual booted to windows running adobe audition 3 (my stupid friends don't have macs ruling logic studio out).
