Hello to everybody on the forum at first. I'm very glad that I found this site.
I'm currently working as a Dj and want to set up a private recording studio for myself to produce mainly electronical music (UK Garage/ 2 Step, House, Downbeat...a little bit of Bhangra). I haven't had any experiences with a mac but definalely want to get one for producing because I've heard from many sides that mac's the only choice for proper media- quality. So what do I exactely need for a good private studio? - Mac (which one?) Is the 1,8 GH enough? - Logic? Or is Garageband enough? - Do I need something else? Like Keyboard, Mixer, Interfaces... I would be very thankful if someone could help me because I've currently no idea because there are so many opportunities if you're getting started. Cheers Dan |

The extended use of headphones for monitoring is a bad health idea… people tend to use them too long and too loud.
A common reference right now is the Sony 7506 and 7509. Good sound and closed. I'm very suspicious on the choice of the Edirol monitors (forgot them in the avoid monitors). They are just "computer speakers" (i know the family, ooooch!). Tannoy, Samson, Krk, event, Berhinger… make decent to good entry level monitors. (I don't recommend Behringer usually but the monitors seem nice enough and are well suited for "dance" material) I may forgot some companies but these are good tracks to follow. If you can, you should really go in a shop and listen to them with music material you know and of the style you will mix, and some stuff (voice, classical, unplugged…) to have a larger picture. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
