Re-kitting Studio From Scratch - Synth Focused
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 10:08 pm
So a while back I sold most of my gear. Was looking into going all software. Made sense at the time.
...can't do it. I just can't. I need discreet interfaces to get anything done!
So I want to gear up again. I'm by no means an expert, so I though I should tap the collective intelligence.
What I'm looking at currently:
Analog Synths: Juno 106, Korg Mono/Poly
Digital Synths: Monomachine, maybe a Virus?
Effects: Moogerfooger Delay and MuRF, a basic reverb unit like a Lexicon MX series, maybe some of the Electrix boxes, maybe more?
Interface: MOTU 828 MKIII
Monitors: 2x Adam A7's (These seem like a no brainer from what I've read.)
I've also considered getting a cheap but decent channel strip like a TwinQ, and maybe another basic outboard tube compressor? Does this make sense?
I'm going for warmth here. I may want to mic some stuff eventually down the road, but that complicates things. So for now, just a consideration.
My max budget it around $5,500. For everything. A nice chunk of change, but it'd be nice to low ball that and get some other things I've been wanting as well.
I'm looking for obvious oversights, pointers, and gear recommendations. Thanks in advance.
