The purpose of all the gear i have is to compliment my Alt-Rock Band. We sound like this www.purevolume.com/needforpanic , im not sure how to categorize it, so if your inclined you can check it out.
Ive been looking through, and posting in this forum for a couple weeks, and ive gotten tons of great ideas. I feel like a have a much better feel of the products i am looking to buy. So this is what i am thinking of getting, if anyone has any bad experiences with any of this stuff, or loves it, that would be great if you posted any information. I figured posting some of my music would give a better idea on what im looking to do.
Software - Cakewalk SX 2.o,
Mixer - Mackie Onyx 1620 w/ Fireware Hardware
Mic's - Rode NTk, AKG D112, 4 Shure SM57's, Matched MXL 603's, and a Shure SM81.
Comressors, Pre's - 1(2?) DBX 266XL, and aFocusrite Platinum VoiceMaster Pro
Monitors - M-Audio BX8's.
I'm more interested in advice on whether or not this gear will or will not be good for recording this style of music. If theres anything better in the same price range of what I am already getting, please let me know.
I am also not sure if i should get 2 dbx 266xl's or 1 and something else. Like a Symetrix 525 or a Bellari R 282 Tube Compressor?
ANY comments, suggestions, or anything would be very much appreciated. And if it matters i also go to school for Audio Engineering, at UMASS.
THANKS!!
