Question:
First of all, God always comes through. I've been praying for the necessary equipment to make a good recording and it has taken a long time but my prayers have been answered.
I have been given $500 to get the final components to the studio set up. I plan on buying an Audio Technica AT3035, two MXL 993's [matched pair], a pair of Studiopro active monitors, and a PreSonus Bluetube mic pre. That will make the setup go like this:
Mic's:
Audix D1 x 2
Audix D4
SM57 x 2
AT3035
MXL 993 x 2
Pre's/Interface:
Alesis MultiMix 12 Firewire
Presonus Bluetube
DAW:
MacBook 1.83 Ghz
Cubase LE
Garageband
M-Audio Studiopro active monitors
I just felt like letting you guys know that I wont be pulling anymore flip-flops I'll just find something else to bug you about an change my mind 30 times over. But if you have any comments [or suggestions] feel free to share.
God bless!
EDIT: scratch the MXL matched pair, substitute a pair of PG81's. {see below}
