Ok, well here goes:

Now, here's the rules of the game. Assuming that an engineer can work with all types of DAW and stuff, and you can use any mics you have and pres and monitors and stuff, does your system beat this system? If so, I need to know. I have a $6000 budget and I need to know if there is something better. I will be recording country and won't need a bunch of simultanious recording. But, it will be a full band, just not at same time.
Here's what I need for $6000
A computer
A Soundcard/DAW - whichever
A High Quality Drum Machine (Doesn't have to be fancy, but have great sounds. Hey, it's country!
Mixer? (Depends on whether a DAW or soundcard)
A high quality condensor mic.
Monitors (This doesn't have to be included. I plan to get them later, and SHOULDN'T be included into the $6000)
That's it! That's all I need.
I'd like to know what you'd do with this budget under these circumstances.
Also, I read the Electronic Musician article about any studio on any budget. Wasn't good for me, because I had have the stuff, and would'nt need to spend half my budget on. Disreguard this. Not important.
And, also, I realize that it's 75% about how you know how to use your equipment and what you're comfortable with. But, let's forget all that for a moment. What's the best system you can throw together for $6000. I have all the instruments and stuff like that.
I think you all understand. I need help, and I thought this would be a fun way to do it.
Hey, I didn't cross post! I'm learning already.
Hey, used gear - if It's cheaper, go with it. That means you'd have more money to spend on the more importand stuff.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks
