Hey!
I want to get some equipment, to improve both my recording quality and my home studio.
Lets start with what gear I have, and what I record.
I have a PC with Cubase 5. To the PC, I have connected a Audio Interface. The Steinberg MR816 X, that is. (24-bit/192kHz Firewire audiointerface with DSP, 18 inn/18 out +more). I aslo have a couple of mics. All the instruments. Acoustic treatment to a certain level, working on it now.
The way I currently record, is plugging everything stright to the Audio interface. Or eventually micing up.
In cubase I use these built in- limiters, gates, reverbs, compressor, eq's and other effects. But I guess its better to have in in hardware? Why?
I record mainly metal music. But a lot of soft, clean acoustic parts too. I mix a lot.
For the metal part, could the Engl 530 be something for me? How do I plug it to my setup if so?
I also record both Guitar, drums, bass, vocals and synth.
Now, where do I start? What do I need first and forward? Suggestions?
Another thing... Where am I supposed to plug these equipment in my rack? Stright to the Audio Interface? Or do I need something in between?
Lots of questions, I know. I'd highly appreciate some basic information. I am greatful for you taking your time reading this and eventually helping me out.
Cheers!
Regards
