As I inch ever closer towards finalizing the components for my home recording solution, I find that the following combination is what I seem to be zeroing in on:
Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 (card, breakout and software)
Roland JV-1010 sound module
Fatar SL-161 61-key MIDI controller
Keyboard amp (small, probably ~$100)
Ideally, I'd like to get a 76-key controller (SL-760), but the price differential is enough to settle for 61 keys. If anyone knows of a good, inexpensive 76-key synth-weighted controller, let me know.
Initially, I will probably use headphones for monitoring, with an eye towards eventually picking up Tannoy Proto-J or Reveal studio monitors. However, I may buy the monitors (and an amp) right off the bat, since they can double as keyboard speakers.
I plan to eventually put together a new DAW, but for the time being I'm going to make do with an older (PII) computer and some extra RAM. I checked with Aardvark, and the motherboard is fine for use with the 24/96.
Are there any glitches/limitations/etc. with this setup that I should know about, or something I'm overlooking? I figure this is a good start, but would welcome any input.
