Guru's-
I am pretty much just getting started in this little hobby. I am going to attempt to record myself a demo, right now all I have is
Mackie 1202VLZ Mixer
2 PS6 Event Monitors
SBLive sound card
Martin D16GT guitar
2001 Collectors Edition Ovation (yah I know, but its a collectors edition and its kinda pretty)
2 SM58 Mics
Digitech Studio (reverb etc, not very nice)
Cubase VST
I want to know the best way to set this stuff up. I am going to be getting a keyboard for midi work in the near future, I am also looking at getting an electric drum kit ( I am in a town house).
What else should I look into getting? I am a one man band basically. I want my demo to sound like a full band, I can play all the above instruments to some degree. I am just a little lost in all the information out there. I have also gone through the studiocovers site. I am not totally clueless after lurking and working with this stuff for about 6 months.
I would like to eventually turn this into a professionally done studio. So I dont want to go tooo cheap, but I dont want to spend too much either. GOOD QUALITY, LOW PRICE. I think 3k us$ is probably a decent number. I can do a bit higher. I wouldn't buy it all at once, it will be over the course of a few months.
Thanks for all the information in advance!
