and im use to typing internet talk
:rolleyes: I guess internet recipients don't deserve English. I'll reserve my help for those that DO want to communicate in English. And that DO have enough respect for people who ANSWER their questions, that they will TAKE the time to type CLEARLY and who DO understand that THE FUCKING WORLD DOESN"T BELONG TO THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SPOILED LITTLE BRATS :mad:
 
hey dude i didn't start this thread to get eveyone pissed off okay..just because i misspelled some words u have to get pissed about it...i spend atleast 4 hours a day researching this board for help and reading articles about homerecording, i am serious about this stuff i had to work my ass off cleaning the my house/yard and i also bulit my studio just to get the stuff i have from my dad , im real sorry for posting my list of gear..i just asked a basic question what else do i need or should i get that is required? i apreciate all the gear of i have and i don't apreciate being called a spoiled brat, my family has faith in me and i have faith in my self to do recording and not going to give up on it!
 
Don't let Rick get to you, man. He just tends to spit out what a lot of us think but won't put into type. A lot of us "old farts" were raised in a time when the ability to spell correctly and put together coherent sentences meant the difference between graduating to the next grade or not. The internet shortcuts and stuff promoted by instant messaging really rubs us the wrong way since it is not the way our language is supposed to be and we don't want to see things change.

As far as the stuff you've got goes, again, don't let what anyone says get to you. If you're conscience is clear about how you got it then all is cool. It is frustrating for a lot of us who have tried to accumulate gear, software, and skills over great lengths of time to see someone young come into the game with everything sitting there waiting for them when all we can do is drool and wish we had the $$ to get the same stuff ourselves. It has only taken me 25 years to get a somewhat functional studio going since I initially decided I wanted to have one. If I was 19 again and had expendable income, I'd do the same thing you are. Unfortunately, I'm not and have other obligations that require most of my income to deal with, so I do what I can and keep plugging away at it.

Now, to be serious, as mentioned in earlier posts, it sounds like you've got the gear lined up to get started but you need to do some work on your space. Do some homework and we'll try to help you figure out how to get a space that works for you.

Cheers,
Darryl.....
 
Well, considering I live in a basement and am on the computer all the time and my studio is the room around me I don't have to worry about a security system.. I say if anybody has the balls to walk in my garage, past my dog, past my dad, and comes down stairs to jack my sh!t I'll grab a guitar and start swinging... haha. Anyways, I'm not here to argue, but I said "I'm not a little stupid rich kid like people may think", and you replied with "im a stupid rich kid too..". I don't know what school you went to but I'm glad I didn't go there, because I dropped out of school last year and as far as I can see my grammar is still a dash better. I wish my parents would help me pay for sh!t but as soon as I quit school and started working they pretty much said "you're on your own"... So far I don't think I've turned out too bad :)
 
For your information Mr. Brilliant, I'm NOT A FUCKING DUDE. You want to talk to me, you call me by my name or eat shit......DUDE!

You know, I see guys like you here all the time. You want Quick answers, cheap solutions, no work, easy money, lazy communication, fast lays, and you don't want to give a FUCKING THING......not even a goddamn CAPITOL to make it fucking easy for me to find the begining of your goddamn sentences. Well.......I got news for ya bunky!!! FUCK YOU!! FUCK YOUR STUDIO!!! and FUCK YOUR QUESTIONS.

I hopped into this thread a little off color with my comment, and hope I didnt ruin anyones day. I have little input to add to this "knowledge base" so I am basically an observer. But when a message board comes to the point where someone misspells a word or two, (and we all know weve done it, and abreviate, both me and U) and there is this kind of response:

"I guess internet recipients don't deserve English. I'll reserve my help for those that DO want to communicate in English. And that DO have enough respect for people who ANSWER their questions, that they will TAKE the time to type CLEARLY and who DO understand that THE FUCKING WORLD DOESN"T BELONG TO THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SPOILED LITTLE BRATS "

Id take a spoiled rich kid (not that Im saying anyone is) over some jerk who cant get over the fact that someone typed shorthand or misspelled a word. You know how many times this Jerk off goes off on typo's. Screw you rick.

Id vote to reinstate all the spammers and dump idiots like Rick who dont have the decency to respect people, and to go off on a 19 year old, Dude, you must be a tough guy, huh?!? This site would truly be a better place if your mouth, and your attitude, were shut. None of your advice sticks to my mind, just the fact that you have no respect.

I dont give a crap if you go off, its expected. Ill leave the site if needed. How can I or anyone else feel good about being here when I share company with idiots like you.

Before you get bent out of shape, just know that the average 19 y/o doesn't BUY $4000 in recording sofware. This is not a slight on you specifically, just that it's so uncommon that its a little difficult to believe. Over the years we've had a lot of "klidz" pass through here with "warez" and "appz" and such. This is not to imply that we think you are a liar, not at all. All I'm saying is that it's uncommon. Nothing more, nothing less. If you've paid for all your software, good for you, that's the ethical thing to do and there is no reason to defend yourself any further.

As I said before, at 19-20 I had a lot of gear also... I went to school full time, worked full time, and did competition-class car audio installations on weekends, 12-14 hours a day. This provided for a lot of recording gear that I had very little time to use :D.

Anyway, that said. lets move to your question. What do you need. That really is a question you need to answer for yourself, because each of us come from different backgrounds and aspects of the recording world. I, and more of a midi composer, mix mastering kinda guy, so my recommendations would fall along the lines of synth modules, Sonar, TC finalizing products, etc. Others might have other recommendations.

What do you actually record... friend's bands, your band, do you compose and record rock, metal, country, techno, do you create dance mixes of covers or original material? If you ask yourself these questions, you'll better able answer your big question - what else do you need.

Need is a funny word too... I've seen "darn good" recordings with significantly less stuff than you and I have... and horrible recordings on "fantasy gear" that the common man can only sniff magazine ads to see.

A few years back I would brought into the final stages of a project, primarily to finalize and master their recordings, to put together a glass master. Unfortunately, the material they gave me was impossible to work with, so we booked more time in the studio they had rented to rework some of the tracks. Essentially, their near-fatal mistake was not to use the house engineer of that studio, but rather bring in a "friend" who claimed to be a recording engineer, who in my opinion didn't know which way to face a microphone. But that's another story. After going through all their settings in the console, it was quickly determined why everything sounded so bad - the "ingunear" had created several loops, from direct outs of various channels, to one of the busses, phased backwards, with weird EQ settings to compensate for the out of phase, audio loops. So, essentially this band wasted nearly a week of time in front of an amazing console, the Sony Oxford, just to have their recordings sound like a rock band yelling through digital kazoos. Yes, we had to record pretty much everything over. At least the drums were recorded correctly.

So the moral of the story is... its not necessarilly what you have, but how well you know how to use it. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy "hot gear", just saying often, such items are purchased more of out desire than actual need. And as you've discovered already, gear (and software) isn't cheap.

Imagine what 5 days in front of an Oxford cost this band... to get fancy kazoo sounds. Then imagine what it cost to do everything over in three days, plus my bill on top of that :D
 
so is this how you treat newbies Rick!!! Fuck you and fuck your studio, fuck your quesations hhaha pretty immature huh? Rick what am i doing wrong here!
Hmmm, treat newbies? Immature? Apparently, you don't get it, AND you don't READ either. I already gave you a polite answer in my FIRST reply.:rolleyes: As far as newbies are concerned, if you will look at my post count, there are almost 1800 posts and replys that I have taken time to write. MOST of them, are LONG, VERBOSE, and POLITE explanatory replys to newbies such as yourself. I haven't got a problem with newbies because I was one myself at one time. And I don't pretend to be an expert that lives in an ivory tower demanding something . In fact I often give a "disclaimer" with my replys. And I already told you what "I" personally don't like. But that really isn't the issue here. At least as far as I'm concerned. What is the issue? PLAIN OLD RESPECT!! And BTW, I'm 60 yrs old. You want to call me immature?.... Son, wipe your nose, your snot irritates me.
I don't brand one person by association but I'm going to tell you something whether you like it or not.

I've delt with your generation on the streets, on the net, on the phone, and person to person for 5 years and I've come to the conclusion that your generation doesn't have a FUCKING CLUE to the word "respect", because they plain DON"T HAVE ANY! Even the music, IF you could call it that, illustrates PERFECTLY the antics of a screaming little spoiled brat throwing a tantrum. No wonder musicianship has lost it's meaning. The average kid nowdays thinks they can pick up an electric guitar, thrash a couple of chords and VOILA! They think they are a musician. Ha! Then you "GET" a PC, an SM58, Cakewalk and a Soundblaster Live and VOILA!! "I'm a RECORDING ENGINEER!!!!............ what a joke. And PC games......theres a good one.....killing, death, destruction, theft , murder, evil, and they revel in it! ..... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE......? I'll tell you what. Your parents didn't have enough gumption to BOX YOUR EARS when you got outa line when you were younger. But I have an ace in the hole my friend.
And that is this. YOU are going to be my age one of these days. And by the look of the even YOUNGER generation.......YOU ARE IN TROUBLE!
So Mr. Recording Engineer......let me straighten you out. First, there are NO
credentials for this field, no diplomas, no proof of the pudding other than the DAMN RECORDINGS....and if you can't make good recording with what you have already........YOU DON"T NEED ANYTHING ELSE!! And if you don't succeed at this endeavor.......let me give you a clue to your future. Simply by you post here, it is perfectly clear that you will make a wonderfull SANITARY ENGINEER. :rolleyes: Now, is there anything else? If so, the name is MR. Fitzpatrick.....SIR, to you.......... AM I CLEAR??
 
thank you very much Mr. Fitzpatrick sir.

But really, I know exactly what you are talking about. I *could* be using 1000 dollar software, but no, I use fucking N-TRACKS!!!!! Why? Becasue my parents taught me well, and I respect whoever wrote that 1000 dollar software. So, Studiomxpx, I really doubt that you can afford nuendo, or that your daddy would pay for all of that for his teenage kid. If you do feel that you need to use all of that fancy software, at least pay for one of the programs that you use. Go buy cakewalk or n-tracks or something, just pay for some software, and use it. Delete all that crap, and do the right thing. Have you daddy buy you some new mics. You dont even have any fucking small diaphragm condensers, let alond a decent LD condenser. If your daddy will really buy you nuendo, Im sure he can find some money to buy you decent mics. Why he hasn't is beyond me.

Whatever rick, bummer to be u.... try to have a nice day.

All you do is complain. I am related to old people too. We put them into a home, and they are heavily medicated.. (doctors orders). I could give you the name of the doctor...

D
 
Rick, I like you and all.. but you seem a bit bitter. :p

I'm 18. I don't think I've been too bad. I can say for sure that this kid can't spell a damn thing rite. U no? i gues he thinks that no 1 wil mind. h3 s7ill |<1|\||)4 100|<5(kinda looks) intelligent.. right? Wrong.

Kids these days amaze me. Especially with their pure apathy towards proper English. Eesh.

I really don't think this kid's Dad "bought him everything"... heh.

I don't either, specially after seeing this post of his.
Sounded like he was starting to get worried about his software acquisitions.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say its not all the real software...but then again it could be. there are parents out there that give their kids anything they ask for...of course i dont know anyone with parents like that but thats not to say it doesnt happen. if i was 18 again, i would file papers to recieve the back child support that my dad didnt pay and maybe i could afford all of that stuff too. alas, i must get out and work for my things and sacrifice. currently the DMV is ready to charge me $250 because my '83 LTD crown victoria hasnt been inspected...i need to put about $300+ worth of work into getting it up to snuff to pass inspection all while trying to buy different mics. so whats a poor young man to do when hes caught between being responsible and getting what he wants with no daddy to buy it for him? he goes to work.


jealous!? table of one. the party is seated and I'll have what the guy over there is having....oh yeah, how much does that cost?
 
Hello guys. Let me say something in my defense here. I've helped people as much as anyone here, and will CONTINUE to help with what I know. But sometimes there comes a point where I loose my patience with net lanquage and peoples lazyness. It may be cool to some of you, but to me, when you come to a forum to ASK for help, the LEAST you can do is ask questions in such a way that the reader DOESN"T have to read the damn questions 3 or 4 times just to understand what the hell they are asking. :rolleyes: Personally, I view this as disrespect for the very people you are asking to help you. Let me put it this way. IF, you had a health problem, and went to the doctor for an exam, you certaninly would CLEARLY and DISTINCTLY tell the doctor what is wrong with you because YOU WANT HELP!! Right? Well whats the difference here? I'll tell you. I've seen it a thousand times here. To the point it has now really PISSED ME OFF!! There seems to be a general LACK of respect, first for the education system that is trying to help them in the first place, for the language of thier nation, for the older generation, for society in general and for their parents, who should have kicked thier little butts earliy enough to get their attention. What these people don't understand, is this little charade they play, is only hurting themself. Thier apparent lazyness in simple things such as communication, will become CLEAR when they finally come to the realization they HAVE TO GET A FUCKING JOB!!!! Then see how CLEAR they communicate. Get my drift? :rolleyes:
I've spent a great deal of time responding to the questions of like this, only to realize that they really didn't give a shit in the first place. They DON"T want REAL answers, because it takes REAL WORK. And REAL WORK is beyond the scope of their little world cause they've NEVER HAD TO DO ANY REAL WORK. They've NEVER had to pay for their way in this world, so they've never learned to RESPECT the people who have. They think the FUCKING WORLD OWES them, and they don't have to do a FUCKING THING but sit on their ass and demand the world to HEED THEIR WISHES. I've got news for you. DREAM ON. The real world, as they soon will find out, doesn't give a DAMN about their little charade, and neither do I. However, I'll be the FIRST to jump in here and respond to peoples questions, who don't MIND :rolleyes: spending the ONE THOUSANDTH OF A SECOND, to put a capitol at the beginning of their sentences, or spend ONE THOUSANDTH OF A SECOND, to put a fucking period on the end, or somewhat REREAD their own sentences for CLARITY, or even try to SOUND OUT THE WORDS for spelling. Its simply a case of NOT GIVING A GODAMN what the other person has to go through just to understand what the fuck they are trying to say. Now, if that isn't a case of disrespect in the first place, then my 60 years of life on this fucking planet hasn't learned a goddamn thing!!! And if that isn't CLEAR to you either, then you have got a LOT to learn before YOU become 60 yourself.
