I’m preparing to put together a home studio, and I’m starting to get frustrated. I plan on recording 4 and 5 piece rock, with multiple vocals, and I would like to end up with some decent results. I’m a college student, so my budget is somewhat limited. That said, my dad recently decided it was time to be part of my life again, and is trying to make up for lost time with cash handouts. I just purchased an Alienware Area-51 5500 with Windows XP Professional, a Pentium 4 Processor 530 w/ HT Technology 3.0GHz 1MB Cache, 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM, and 2 80 GB hard drives. I’m not totally sure what software I want to use yet, but I’m leaning towards Acid Pro 5, as I’ve used Acid Pro 4.0 in the past. I’ve also used Logic 5 Platinum, but I never got very comfortable with it.
As far as hardware, I’m totally in the dark. I happened to stumble across an add for an Aardvark Direct Pro Q10, and I think I want something like that. It seems to have enough XLR inputs to meet my needs. The price is a little steep and the fact that Aardvark is no more makes me a bit nervous.
I think I want a PCI soundcard with at least 6 XLR inputs (preferably front mounted, but a breakout box is good too). Any information you can give me will help. Thanks!
