I guess this would be hard to explain unless you have been in the room, but Im converting my music room (where my band used to rehearse) into a "studio". We built most of the mixing room yesterday, and the computer and a bunch of stuff is already up there. Its about 4 or 5 feet off the ground (the room has a really tall ceeling, so its ok), and we are using the space underneith me for storage. We are building the walls soon, and then Ill start buying the recording equipment. There is a bunch of pictures of us building it, and when we get it developed and I find a printer cable for my scanner, Ill post some pictures. Me and my friend are doing this together, cause we both like recording and stuff, but he doesnt have a place to record drums, and I dont have enough money to build all this and buy recording gear and buy mics, so we are both putting some money into it and we are both going to use it and junk. Its going to be really fun. Heres some of the gear we are buying...
4 SM'57's
2 Rode NT1A's
a Presonus Firepod
and probably a few other little things
A friend of mine knows someone who wants to get rid of their Vocal sound isolation room (something like this ), so they are just giving it away for FREE! Its been sitting in their basement or something. So yeah, we are gonna try to get it. The only downside is, we have to drive about 3 hours to get it, but I dont care!
What do you guys think about my mic selection? Is there something better for the price range or am I about right? Thanks.
