Hello All:
It's been a busy tax season and I haven't visited the board since Mid January or so. Now that tax time is over I have some free time again.
Here is my task:
I am an avid part-time home recorder looking to upgrade what I am doing. I am recording through my onboard soundcard and using my computer speakers. I record vocals and guitar, mainly acoustic and MIDI the rest. I've gotten about as much as I can get out of this bare bones setup and am ready to take a baby step forward.
I got about $500 - $600 to spend and I am in need of a soundcard and some active nearfield monitors.
As far as a soundcard goes I think I'm sold on an M Audio 2496 for $150.
As far as the monitors go, I'm not sure. I've been looking at some Fostex's in the $399 - $499 price range.
How does that combo sound? Any suggestions surely welcome.
Thanks
