Thanks m00n! I was hoping to get started on the landscaping this weekend, but I've been ill this week. Maybe next weekend.

Hope all's well with you and yours, my friend. :)

This thing is fucking awesome. I've barely had it out of the box for 24 hours and I've already finished a full track and recorded an artist on it in the studio. The kits, plugins and samples/content that come in the box seem endless and they're actually good! I've already made a bunch of good drum loops that will probably become tracks in the near future. Between producing tracks for other artists and recording them I'll probably make back the money I spent in a month.

This was $600 well spent :tup:

I should have bought this first. It's a lot more useful than my MM6 (considering I'm no master pianist) and forget about writing good drumlines on a keyboard. The MM6 has some nice instruments built-in and it's a great MIDI controller, otherwise I'd probably go get my $500 back.

Even though you got it down faster than I did, I smell a collab in the works.....

That's wicked man!
I have the original black one sitting here. Everytime I play around with it my mind is just blown away by the possibilities :lol:

I managed to wear down an adonised aluminium mousepad...

The thickness of two pieces of paper, and it costs less than £10. Amazing mousemat. Also grabbed some new mouse feet (Corepad Skatez) for my Abyssus. Makes me realise just how badly worn my old mousepad and mouse feet were :(

More studio stuff!

Sterling Audio ST69 Tube Condensor

We were gonna go with the Blue Spark, but after careful consideration I decided we should go all-out and get a true studio mic.

Ultimate Support Pro-T-T

LiveWire HA04 4-Way Headphone Amp

... And another pair of Audio Technica ATH-M30s, in case we need them.

AudioTechnica-ATH-M35_610x429.jpg


My roommate has loaned me the use of his Gemini PT2400 turntable and a pre-amp, so we can sample vinyl properly.

gemini_pt2400.jpg


Finally, I bought a 15' gold-plated XLR cable for the microphone and a few TRS patch cables to connect it all together with my existing TASCAM interface.

Next up is to rent a studio space, build a vocal booth, and buy a mixing console. Oh, and I need to buy a decent laptop to run my Maschine for live performance. Oh, and I really should build another mixing rig for the studio so my gaming rig isn't held hostage by tons of samples and huge DAWs. Oh, and we're going to need a bigger interface with more channels. But that stuff isn't necessary just yet.

After today I have about $2300 ($3300 if you include the cost of my existing PC) invested in this. But hey, if you're gonna do it, might as well do it right and go all-out. Right?

Here's a short list of everything I've bought for the studio so far with prices:

Yamaha MM6 61-key Synth Workstation ($500)
Native Instruments MASCHINE MKII ($600)
Stering Audio ST69 Tube Condensor ($440) (MSRP $1299 or $599 depending on which site you check. I got it on sale and used a coupon get an additional 12% off.)
2 Pairs Audio Technica ATH-M30s ($70 ea/$140)
A pair of Alesis studio monitors ($50, half-off MSRP)
TASCAM US144 MKII 4-in/4-out interface ($130)
Ultimate Support Pro-T-T ($90)
Stedman Proscreen XL Pop Filter ($70)
LiveWire 4-Way Headphone Amp ($50)
M-Audio MIDISport USB MIDI chipset ($35) (and which I haven't even used.)
Enough patch cables to run from here to D.C., I've probably spent at least $200 on cables.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot the keyboard stand because I never use it, so add another $80 or whatever for that.

I wish I could send you some samples but right now I'm working exclusively with one artist. I'm currently concentrating all of my work on his debut album, everything he's using is going to be copyrighted and he's using everything I'm writing so I'm not really at liberty to release anything until the album is done. We should be wrapping up in a couple of weeks. Once that's done I can start doing collab work and start putting stuff up on Soundcloud and Bandcamp and the like.

I'll be happier when I have a proper studio space, but what I've got going now works fine. Check it out!
