flows. bulls hit makes good suggestions re the yamaha mg etc
in his post. just add a cad gxl LDC mic for 50 bucks.
you wont do better unless you spend huge money.
eg: a shure sm7.
and youll record good tracks if you have the audio engineering down.
or if you want something upmarket , though i dont think you need it imho
look at the cad mic into a rane ms1b preamp.
just demo the yamaha mg versus the rane and see which you prefer.
much as i like rane pre's. i could still do great tracks with a mg mixer. plus you get more channels.
with an amd athlon computer you can do 60 tracks easy. though i nver do more than 24. 32 if i'm in a overproducing mood.

I'm gonna go learn as much as I can about home recording so I can come to this newbie board and call people "uniformed"


What a dic.
 
Great board here

It amazes me to see a newbie ask a simple question and gets a blunt response.

Talking about attitude! :D
 
Cloneboy,
He asked you a question; nothing more,nothing less. Although you are light years ahead of him in the recording gig; instead of telling him he's a chump; just post: I REFUSE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. Or better yet; don't respond at all. There are no rules here, to my knowledge that state; in order to participate here; you must answer every question that is asked. Instead you respond because it makes you feel bigger but leveling someone else who knows less. Yes; Anyone who wants to learn to be good at something; needs to read up on it to expand their knowledge or even familiarize themselves with what they are endeavoring to do; but this is a forum. A place where people come to answer questions. Qustions that even seem stupid to world reknown engineer/producers such as yourself. I'm an MCSE. I frequent many forums where people have done foolish things to screw their computers up. I too, get frustrated with answering the same questions many times over but; I have one of 3 choices when I read their posts. I can say to myself; what an idiot, or I can even reply to their question by calling them an idiot who doesn't deserve an answer, and then bask in the glory of my certifications on the wall, or I can remember the time when I didn't know an ASI bus from a PCI bus, and try to give them the help he/she needs. I choose the latter. Now if it so pleases you to call me a chump or a punk for telling you what you needed to hear, then have at it. I always look up to those who can act tough behind their monitor. You obviously have quite a lot to offer though. Why don't you do so constructively? The most stupid question of all, is the one not asked till time was wasted, and damage was done.

When more experienced people take the time to answer a noobs question they shouldn't get uppity. After all, they are asking US for the answer. I gave him the answer--maybe not in the best of ways but admittedly I was flabbergasted that someone would want *that* large of a system but didn't know what they were doing.

I guess it's their money... if they want to waste it, it shouldn't be any of my business.
 
In all fairness cloneboy studio; I agree he should not get upity. That's not the way to act to expect future help from someone. I am a recording newcomer myself(less that 2 years, and only a month or so with a pro card), although I've been playing guitar for 42 years, and my opinion is; we should do everything we feel comfortable with; trying to solve our issue ourselves; then reach out for the help of experienced people such as yourself. I will never expect someone else to do all the work for me. The only way we really learn what makes the recording process, and the mastering ect. work; is to get in and familiarise ourselves with the hardware, and software. My point was; after someone has truly hit a brick wall; then we need to try and answer their questions even if we've answered the same question over and over before. Different people hit the wall at different times and places. But if I am desiring the input of those more experienced than myself; I certainly don't want to come in here cocky and arrogent. Just my.02

It is enlightening to do a search on all posts made by Mad Flows... he's incredibly rude and, worst of all, virtually demands everyone do his thinking for him.
 
all each of us can do is offer the best advice we can based on our own experiences to new people.
from reading flows posts what worries me is i'm afraid he is going to spend a ton more money than he needs to in order to get a good song down.
ie; as has been said many times. you could give george martin a basic
small equipment budget - less than most newcomers have , and he would still churn out great songs because of his engineering experience.
