Hi guys,
I am thinking of setting up a little home studio area over the summer. This is not meant to be a full on a studio with sound proofing etc - I want to get to grips with using the software, get a real feel for mixing, and just get some general experience in before I plan on taking this hobby further. Basically I have a proposed setup.
The whole setup will be in my living room, a rectangular room, which is really quite long. I thought this might give the room quite a nice reverb... thoughts?
What do I plan on buying?
- New computer. I need one of these anyway. Planning on getting one with a pretty big HD obviously, lots of RAM, and just general good specs.
- Sound card and mixer. I thought the Firepod looked like a good little piece of kit. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
- POD 2.0. For some guitar amp modelling. Otherwise we will be using a Marshall amp - possibly miced up; more likely lined in.
- Mic. Condenser I presume. A Shure one perhaps? I'll have to dig around the mic forum.
- Monitor Speaks. Might get some second hand ones off Ebay. Bose 101's?
- Headphones. Want some good headphones cos I am likely to mixing at night. Behringer or Seinheisers?
And I think thats it.
Any reccommendations or changes you guys think I should do?
Thanks so much in advance,
Sammy.
