I'm currently in the process of building a studio in my basement. I'm in the middle of the framing process right now It's not something that's going to be rediculous...I only do this as a hobby. Probably gonna have a main live room w/wood floors and an isolated control room. Then I'll add some acoustic treatments, etc.
Anyways, here's a list of gear I currently use/have:
Old PC running Logic Platinum (runs fine - recording in 48k)
MOTU 1296
Rack of API 512c pres
Blue Baby Bottle
Bunch of SM57's
Pair of AKG c1000s (use for drum OH's)
Art Pro VLA compressor
dbx 166xl compressor
I'm considering:
1. A pair of Purple Audio 1176's
2. Stereo Distressor w/Brit Mod
3. Drawmer 1968 Mercenary Edition stereo comp w/pair of AKG 414's
4. New 2.7Ghz Mac Pro w/Logic Pro or Protools LE, etc
5. Peluso 2247LE mics (pair?) or 2251's etc.
6. Apogee Rosetta w/Big Ben
Anyways, my heads hurting from all the research I'm doing and I need some good suggestions/input. I can mix & match, etc. I probably don't want to spend more than $3500. Thanks!
