Yeah bro. 170 not bad. Like i have LOTS of money like GRANDS. im just trying to make my purchase worth it. you know what i mean? tired of this computer Bs. But Calam what i really want to know is. Alright for the studio's. you usally don't record on the computer. So what setup would you have to get too record in a booth without the computer right beside you. Ya dig what im sayin?

dont be son. the computer is where its at now. ALOT of studios use computers for the recording and shit.


see for a home studio, all you need is the mic, monitors, booth mixer/interface. and acomputer. you can get some REALLY really nice quality, like real cd quality with the right mixing skills and mastering skills.


keep the computer in the mix yo. thats why they make mic chords so long.


my suggestion to you, since you have the cake. im being real here.


for the quality you look for. its gonna run you about 500-1,000. I could have REALLY good quality. I just lack a quiet place to record, i lack a good prrogram to mix with and i lack Good cables and cords and shit.

my suggestion is to fuck with a AKG (reasonable priced one for the quality is like 199) .. a Groove Tube.. a Rode (what i use).. and some other mics are quite decent..



right now, if your mixer has phantom power. your set. just Build you a booth out of wood, and put studio foam in it. cut a TINY hole for the cords to come out and you set. Cop a Good condensor. I recomend a Rode NT1-a or a AKG 2000 or 3000. i forget but they both go for 199 and they are GREAT for the price.

get at me man. i got the knoledge i just lack the cake haha

thats whats up ^

word alright i'm going to look into that. So the wood. Damn i have to talk to my parents about that wood tip. Thats cool. So having the wood i wouldn't need To build the studio with soundproof walls? or. IS THAT the soundproof walls? and alright the computer i'll keep but it'll need to be a few feet away. cause my computer makes some shaky noise and shit.

On the mic tip. So i should get a AKG with a pop filter and phantom power? that would make the quality above decent right? so that should run me about 3 bills thats cool. not too expensive. or is there anything else i need? and the preamp. what does it connect too? is there a wire you need to buy to connect it to the computer? And what would i have to do to edit the quality? cause right now on C.E i do a WHOLE bunch of shit to make my quality better. so if i had a better microphone i wouldnt have to do edit anything? or would i still have to touch up on the quality?

AND once i get this shit set up. me and you have to lay down some SERIOUS tracks. you know what im saying bro?

yea. the boof is just to spit in. like, for real, you could have some carpenter build you one for hella cheap. all it is is a Big wood box. some thing you can stand comfortable in and spit. i wanna say, the size of maybe a REALLY big fridge. theres directions all oer the internet for building one. you dont really need em, but if you wanted guidlines they good for that. and inside that box, you woul dhave foam coverin every where inside so its sound proof and there are no echos. its ghetto, but it works really good. my friend uses one out in cali. it might get hot in there tho, so dont be in there to long or you gon sweat haha.


and about that computer thing. it wont matter, in the booth you wont hear the cpu. thats the booths purpose. and you can have the cpu as far as you want. jsut buy long mic cables yo.

as far as the whole phantom ower thing and preamp shit goes.. See with the soundcard you have, yours dont have phantom power in it. which is bad, cause you have to buy more shit to compensate for that. if you want a good mic (condensor mic) you need a preamp that has phantom power in it (most of them do). so what you would do, is run the mic cable into the preamp that has phantom power, and run the preamp to you soundcard. its easier that it sounds tho. so in all all you need to cop is a preamp and a mic and you set for right now.

as far as what you will have to do to your quality. you'll still have to mix it and shit. everyone does, unless you have like a top of the line mic (which not to many home studios have). shit i do to my vocals are more for effect than quality. if i just recorded my shit and mixed down, my shit wouldnt sound near as crsip. it wouldnt sound bad by any means, but it wouldnt be like it is now.

and of course you'll need to learn how to EQ. <-- a very important part of makin ya shit sound listenable.
