    M-Audio Fast Track C-Series!

    I would also like to point out that MOTU drivers are terrible! I mean sometimes they get it right and then sometimes the driver updates are not worth the download. But the hardware is nice. RME is probably mike pick of this list.

    HD Rig

    Yea if the solo's are in the budget go for them! Focal was always a strange company to deal with. Mainly since they are french they take like 3-4 months off completely every year. So if you are out of stock of monitors or if there are any issues to be dealt with then you have to wait a few...

    HD Rig

    as far as near fields go, Formant and I where actually discussing that in another thread. Personally I am very partial to the Focals. You could pick up a pair of CMS65's for like $1600 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CMS65/ The three main studios I work at have Focals, NS10, and JBL's...

    WTF is a mixtape????

    My view is more from the creation of art stand point. If you want to have a legacy, you put out only your best stuff. Good music is good music no matter what the label. But when you think mix tape, quality is NOT the first thing you think of. Certainly there are exceptions, but that's what...

    WTF is a mixtape????

    That is 100% dead on man! It drives me crazy. If a song sucks, you should scrap it. You may disagree, but this is one thing Kanye does really well. He knows what to NOT put out.

    Mackie MCU Pro 8 and Propellerhead

    I have used the non pro version in Reason. Hui is Hui, so everything should work fine. Do you have a specific question?

    HD Rig

    What are your plans as far as growing the business? How much will you spend on marketing? In this situation I would absolutely put the money in to mic's and pre amps. Mainly because these are two things that don't devalue over time, for example a 3k U87 will have a high resell value forever...

    HD Rig

    Sure, tell me more about the goals of your studio. Are you just doing mixs? Are you recording bands? Making beats? Recording emcees? What do you want the studio to be doing in 5 years?

    HD Rig

    yea LDB, that is exactly right. Your monitors are by far your most important part of your rig, drop a couple of grand on nice monitors. Upgrade your mics, make sure your room has acoustic treatment. Get some nice pre's all those things make a huge difference in your sound. Get all that done...

    HD Rig

    yea man, I would say you have a ton of other upgrades to do to your studio before your drop at least 8-12k on a PT HD rig.

    What kind of mics and monitors do you have. Also Hd native is a real option these days.

    Akai mpd26?

    No trigger finger is dead, its to bad. It had a really nice feel but the editor software was terrible.

    Akai mpd26?

    The mpd pads are NOT the same as the 3000 I liked it, but I like Maschine and trigger finger better. Not sure if it matters to you but the Padkontrol does not have aftertouch. The xy pad is cool.

    HD Rig

    @Dac sigh, there are multiple PT HD rigs. I was wondering what HD rig he was looking at. And my view is that every pro studio should be running Pro tools HD. But at a minimum entry price of 10k I want to make sure the rest of his gear is up to snuff. I am Pro tool certified you know :)
