Hi,
With a budget of between £10,000 - £12,000. Aside from sound proofing gear & a G5 mac what would you suggest I purchase/need to open a digital pro to semi pro studio? I own a korg trinity pro, motu 2408 mk2, motu midi express xt, shure sm58 a couple of guitars & a pair of mackie 624's. I wanted two sequencers, I was thinking of maybe DP5 when it's released & logic? Also been reading about soundcraft's 328xd and mackies' d8b mixers. They both sound pretty good on paper, but the d8b may be to complex for my 1st digi mixer-anyone used one of those? Anyway all suggestions are welcome.

Depends pretty much on what you're planning to do in your studio.
Is there some special reason why you want two sequencers? Mastering one fully loaded pro sequencer program isn't a peace of cake, not to mention two. DP and Logic Pro are both excellent, pick the one you feel more familiar with. I'd recommend Logic Pro, but it's up to your taste really - both get the job done. I my opinion you don't need a separate multi-channel digital desk as you can do all the mixing in digital domain in your sequencer. If you want a separate desk, I'd go for an analogue one for easier operation plus you could do the final mixdown through it to get some warmth in the sound if that's what you like. If you're planning to record vocals you really need a condenser mic + maybe a nice preamp + compressor to go with it. I'd also get some cheapo-monitors to go with the Mackies for some mixing reference. Hope this helped a bit! This post has been edited by coldharbour: Fri 24 Mar 2006, 11:18 |
