if you guys were to compile a list of outboard effects thast are critical to getting started, which ones and what brands of affordable gear will suffice?
drpfeffer said:I would say, invest in good/fair/decent preamps, mics and monitors before you start worrying about outboard effects, use plugins for effects, I have cheapo effect boxes, that I NEVER use, mainly because their sound idn't that good, and also because plugins just suits my workflow better, it's so easy to just throw in a plug and tweak it till it sounds the way you want it.
OH! almost forgot, a outboard compressor like a RNC or something could come in handy in the recording chain from time to time..
but for eq, reverb etc, I say go the plugin way, at least until you have a good recording chain..
check out the SIR plugin for reverb with reverb impulses from noisevault.com, Blockfish for compressors Floorfish for your drum gate, both from digitalfishphones, check out the kjaerhus classic plugins etc. they are all FREE and sound ok, at least compare to cheapo effect boxes..
