Hey Fam,
Musiqsoul here,
yeah, yeah, yeah, i know, i've not been in the site in a few weeks, but that's because I was busy with work and then, i just got my home studio equipment and i'm now setting everything up. I had $3,500 as a budget but that got sliced DRAMATICALLY!, but it's all good though.
Here's my new set up:
Keys: Korg Triton 76 key LE, Korg N5ex synth, Yamaha 550.
Computer: IBM Netvista up grade,
Soundcard: EMU 1212m (comes with SONAR, CUBASE, etc), Also upgraded to FruityLoops Studio 6
Recorder: Boss digital recording studio - 1200CD (sweet) for vocals, keys, tracking.
Mic: MXL V67 cardiod condenser mic.
Monitors: a pair of Event ALP 5s.
Headphones: 1 Sampson , 2 Sony MDR7504
Headphone Amp: Sampson S 4 channel.
My missing piece of the puzzel: Focusrite trackmaster pro pre-amp. (coming soon)
I shopped at Sam Ash in Florida, the guys were real helpful and the service was excellent.
Soon as I set up, i'll do a test demo and post on the site, peace!
