Ok, ive been thinking for a while of what is completely necissary for my small home recording area. Most of the work, processing, sampling, recording and everything will be based around the computer, with logic audio 5, waves gold plugins, and sound forge.
Ok, so heres what i have so far, this stuff i think is pretty good, not super cheap crap i'll want to replace really soon, but not super good stuff that couldn't be replaced.
-Soundcraft Spirit m 12
-high end pc with dual monitors
-delta 1010
-event 20/20 BAS
-few mics (haven't decided yet, probably an sm57 and a few decent condensors, plus i have a sm58 already)
-2 technics 1200 turn tables-
-vestax 05 pro with focus fader
(those are top of the line hip hop dj style turn tables)
-cheap roland midi keyboard
-logic audio platinum 5.0
-waves gold plugins
-sound forge
even with just those things it comes out to about 11,000 canadian. Anything i should add or change? By the way, the style is sorta like hip hop, with rap style vocals, but sometimes they're more like humming singing than rapping, i don't like the term rap, just just say i can't really sing well so i make up for it with other styles. But the music isn't standard hip hop, more like a cross between trip hop, jazz and a bunch of other stuff. I just make what sounds enchanting and good. So most of the time i'll just be recording from one source at a time. But i want the inputs/outputs of the delta and the soundcraft for mixing down, and incase i need to use it for recording many inputs at once, such as for drums eventually, or a friends band or something. Mind you those are the necesities i've found i will need to get started, and there would be a lot of other things that would be useful. Could anyone else add to or change my list? Things that i cannot live without
