I'm getting some money in a month or two here, and was going to put together a little project studio. So far I've got some cheap (but usable) monitors, a Nord Lead 2x keyboard, and a 2 port motu midi interface. I'm going with Ableton live for the software (I've already got Reason 3, and the vanguard plugin). What software or hardware should I get? The presonus firebox looks nice; what do you guys recommend? thanks

The Metric Halo ULN-2 is hard to beat for decent preamps and amazing A/D/A converters. Great signal routing potential, too. One of them would solve a lot of problems. In fact, get the +DSP version and you gain even more. It looks a little pricey, but I've never looked back since getting it. I previously had a MOTU 828, the PreSonus FireBox, the Focusrite Saffire and the FMR Really Nice Preamp. Got rid of everything except my ULN-2.
If you wanted a separate preamp, I hear nothing but good things about the Grace 101. For mics, I like the Rode K2 valve condenser. For monitors, Yamaha DSP5s or Even SP8s (one reasonably priced, one less affordably priced, both the best in their price brackets, IMHO). Good luck with whatever you choose. I agree wholeheartedly with aportman's suggestion to spend a little more in the first place. Otherwise, you just end up wasting money having to upgrade later. Get a few good quality pieces rather than lots of average ones. |
