I believe the greatest frontier I have to cross here, at home, is to eliminate ambient noise. The current reality is that I shut the refrigerator down(it runs 8-on and 6-off) if I don't want to wait for the cycle to come around. I have the fan on the G3 which I'cannot testify as to hearing on any recordings. I must say that the new Seagate drives are dead-quiet and make me smile. If my cat does not meow and the phone does not ring (forget the doorbell! ) I get through. Have a listen to my recordings at http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/544/will_adam.htmlI'm getting good reports; even from pros! Isolation is the greatest goal for a home studio. Not just a booth but one on a separate and disconnected slab if you're on cement; structure in anycase. This, due to the transferrance of ground-waves which resonate on walls. I think you can do this with shock-absorbing material in the home but the artist inside would initially feel strange because it will necessarily move, like getting into a car which, by-the-way, is definitely isolated well. They don't fit well, however, through most doors. My AT-3035 out-performs anything I've ever had although I would like to get my hands on some Sony ECM-21's I gave away several years ago after I let go of my Tascam reel-studio. As I recall they were quite clean and I see that several studios list them as assets. I'm aiming for some Røde NT-3 mics for guitar-micing as a next step but would gladly explore anything Audio Technica has to offer. I'm going to check out the Audix mics Krisg mentioned.
