Hey everyone.... I'm looking to start a new recording studio using a Mac G4 w/Digital Performer... I'm just curious what equipment you'd recommend to start out with. (i.e. - what mixers, midi, monitors, mics, preamps, synths, etc....) Basically just looking for some different ideas for complete studio setups for starting out using the mac g4 w/Digital performer. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the input! I totally agree with the "I think we worry too much about the gear" I think the Motu 828 is the best decision for now, especially running Digital Performer, I don't think there should be any conflict speaking that they're both MOTU. A compressor is definitely something worth looking into, I understand that completely, but what should I get for a AD converter? I'm a little confused on that, I'm assuming for converting analog to digital, but again, I'm new at this. I have an extra hard drive I can hook up for the external, which perfectly makes sense as well. I'll just have to pick up some more mic preamps at a later date, not in the budget right this minute, but definitely something i'll be looking into. I guess the only thing I have a question on is the AD converter, any help is of course appreciated. Thanks!
