My band is going to start recording our stuff at my, soon to be *complete*, home studio. Now, this is definitely a beginner's setup and a learning experience for us. We play all original pop/rock and are looking to make a demo cd and possibly and EP or LP to sell at our shows.
The equipment I have right now is :
P4 1.6 GHZ / 512mb RAM
n-Track Studio
SB Audigy
*Decent* headphones and speakers
Various mics (SM57, SM58, and others)
Behringer 1604A mixer
Johnson J-Station
Zoom MRS-4 Digital 4 track
Zoom MRT-3 Drum Machine
Now, we are looking to improve the soundcard, get some decent powered monitors and make sure that we have the right equipment to properly mic the drums. We don't have a whole lot of money to spend, so we are looking at the following equipment.
Sound Cards
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 - $149
Echo Mia - $179
M-Audio Delta 410 -$199
M-Audio Delta 44 - $229
Monitors
Event PS-5 - $229
Event PS-6 - $259
M-Audio SP-5B - $199
Roland DS-50A - $249
Drum Mics
Nady DMK-7 Drum Mic Kit $179.99
Nady DMK-7 Drum Mic Kit w/Condensors $219
I would appreciate it if you would give your opinions on which eq to go with and also relate any experiences you have had, positive or negative, with any of the gear in question. Also, alternative suggestions in the same price range would be helpful. Finally, if you have any used equipment that might fir the bill that you are looking to get rid of, drop me a line.
Thanks so much for your help!
