Hey Guys -
So here's the deal. I have heard a million different advice about what I should invest it. I don't know if I should go the ProTools route or Logic. My budget is $10,000 - and I just bought a G5, so I guess not my remaining budget is $7000 - $7500. Here is what I plan on doing in my home studio - or what I would like to do:
I would like to record alot of midi but also a lot of vocals, live bass and lots guitar. As for drums, I was contemplating a V-Drum kit (I live in an apartment), for less noise. On the whole, I am interested in getting great quality recordings also, I am interested in getting into jingles and film scoring. I would like to ultimiately invest in a situation that would set me up in a way that I would be able to build off of it, and not have to replace everything one day. For example, if I cannot afford Protools now, should I get a Digi001 interface and use it in Logic for now to set me up towards one day working into a Protools situation? See what I mean, I need advice. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I have a budget and am very open to any ideas you guys have. Helpl me build a home studio!!!

Hi. I have almost the same studio facilities as you are planning to buy: Mac G5 with a RME 9632 card, Logic Platinum 6.2, Yamaha 03D (instead of 02R), some synth´s and Roland TD-6 V-drums. I have been working with this gear for many years now (except for the G5), and it plays beautiful! I would strongly recommend the V-drums, even if you are not a drummer. I hadde never played drums before, but after I got the V-drums I soon become a pro. Before this I programmed the drums (for the last 15 years), but now the drums sound like real drums. You play different when using real drums!

Good luck!
