Setups to fit your budget..! IMPORTANT..!

[ARCHER]

Thanks Bad News.. I was thinking about getting an MPC1000 actually.. I'm not too familiar with all the different hardware or how to use them.. I'm pretty much a noob to making beats.. I only have experience with FL Studio, but I have gotten pretty good with it.. I've learned a lot on that program and I can now actually make a decent beat with it.. and I don't even have any good sound banks.. DO they have mpc's at Guitar Center??? If they do I might just go there tomorrow and check one out.. Thanks again

if you use a computer you dont want an mpc.

[whocares?]

if i can get a better soundcard other then emu 1212mm or wat eva wich one should it be? and will it be affected if i was using it with a blue tube pre amp and a 200 dollar mic or can it actually have good potential to be of good quality??

if it would be affect badly wich part should i change to get better quality or boost up the quality of a 200 dollar mic? thax

[Tony Brown]

linx makes a $700 soundcard. that and the focusrite voicemaster would be nice even with the $200 mic. When u drop a lot of cash on a soundcard u should really already have a good preamp and mic tho. the other way around is kinda pointless. a better sound card isnt really gonna make your recording sound better.

atleast another $100

I just want to know.. what are the things i should get to set up a decent studio setup? Cuz i dunno lol.

[WillieWil]

yo O..I thinkin I'm gonna get the pro keystation shit..i want a controller and it was outta that...the trigger finger...or the MPD...and I play keyboard anyway so this is right up my alley....

but I get my money on the 2nd so I'll just wire it to you that day and then we can get the business perkolatin...

but hit me up so we can talk about the address and all that shit...you should have my number...if not...check yo caller ID nicca

chea...

[Opie M.]

lol word. i was just tellin tax the keystation + flstudio 6 = supreme godliness... plus i finally figured out why rewire wasnt workin in pro tools (it wasnt installed ) so my setup = god and jesus combined.

I'll just pm you my info lol. im too lazy to call.

[WillieWil]

thats cool...I don't really do too much calling my damn self...

[MakeShyft]

Im gonna have around 1500$ at the end of school.

So I need a setup just to fit mastering/recording.

No beat production, I wanna see what I can get jus to mix my voice down professionally with the beat and record it good, with a good pre-amp and ish

Appreciate the help.

[Opie M.]

Dynaudio BM5 monitors
emu 1820
rode nt1a mic

[MakeShyft]

^ no pre -amp.. or does the emu cover that.. also, Ima prrly be buying a computer setup when school's over from you opey, if you still doing that.

[WillieWil]

he's still doing it...I'm in the process of buying one from him myself....believe me my friend...it is worth the money...with all of the features and programs that come with it...it is well worth what he charges...

[Opie M.]

the emu 1820 has 2 preamps. btw... you should get a pair of headphones as well. sony mdr-7506 if you can afford the extra $100. you'll have really nice montiors so good headphones arent a priority tho. AKG K55 headphones are about $20 and will suit u fine for recording with. the sony's are way better tho. your choice.

and yea... just hit me up with your computer budget and I'll see what I can build you. You'll need a minimum of $600. you can pretty much max out a system with $2000. If you're only recording vocals a maximum of around $1000 would be more than plenty.
