I want to start my own home studio so I can make an album. I have learned that the best type of home studio for me is a midi studio because it is cheaper then the other ways of making music. I want to buy a computer for this purpose that is not too expensive. I want to purchuse it from the dell.co.uk. What computer do you think is good for this purpose? What mic is good to buy that is able to record crystal clear vocals digitally? I used a bad microphone and recorded my voice on the windows record playerand when I played it back I heard a buzing noise accompanied with the vocals. What is this. What is a sequencer?

What do equipment do I need to make good strong beats. My musical fortay is rnb/hip hop/crunk/bass/electronic. I want to make good quality music. Money is not a worry for me? So any sugestion that might be expensive are welcome. What is a drum machine?

Gear lists and technology don't mean anything..

If you don't have the experience to back the impressive list of gear on your recording studios website, you're wasting your time and the time of any potential clients you may have. You might have the newest desk on the market spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, but if you don't know how to use it or don't have properly trained ears, what's the point? How can a studio running 24 tracks of digital audio through a 20something year old SoundTracs desk win so many awards and gain so much recognition without advirtising or spamming? E-X-P-E-R-I-E-N-C-E. It is that simple. Try over 40 years of it and 2 generations of musicians!

If you live in the Central New York area and want to have a recording done right, check out Hobin Studios. Chances are, if you're in the area you've heard the name. Now find out why Hobin Studios has the most repeat customers and the most word-of-mouth referrals anywhere! And if you're one that needs to have a gear list, we'd be happy to give you an idea. Our setup is always changing... how else are we going to back our music addictions!?

Best Soundcard Choice?

DrExtrovert — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 07:59:43 GMT

Ok this may be a typical question: Best sound card choice ?
WIN XP Pro SP2 AMD Barton 3200+ with 2gigs of ram will be my platform.
I need at least 4in\4out (1/4 inch) some kind of Digital IO. and Midi.
PCI or USB 2.0 or Firewire <-doesnt really matter I want to ability to upgrade when and if it's needed.
I would like to use Pro Tools LE 7.1 or Cubase, not sure as to which just yet.
Motu product ?
PreSonus product ?
M-Audio's Delta 66 ?
M-Box 2 <----I am a tad confused on this. Can I use my current Creative Soundblaster Audigy Platnium, or do I need a compatible sound card to go with the M-Box ?

Your suggestions....
Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Cheers, Dave.
