How much can you get a good studio set up for?

Post by blessingindisguise »

If you have 5gs to spend?

And another stupid question how do you propose mixing live band tracks with tracks with beats together making it cohesive? I got some of both but sequencing and cohesiveness really stand out to a listener.

Peace.

Get yourself a powerful PC/Mac, Reason, a Turntable, and some monitors. That's all you need. I don't recommend spending 5 large if you are just starting out.

Oh, thrown in an Mbox and a condenser mic and you're good to go.

You'll benefit from having a MIDI controller of some sort as well. I'd get a MIDI controller before getting a Mic, unless you plan on recording stuff right away.
