Almost there... My studio progress.


Recommended Posts

  • Members

With my new purchases, my studio is almost complete (at least for the basics).

 

Running

PC - 2.6 ghz - 1gig ram dual 120 gig SATA HDD.

Cakewalk Sonar Producer 5.0

M-audio Delta 66 and Delta 1010 sound cards

Event TR8 XL monitors

 

Pres.

M-Audio Omni Studio (2 mic pres)

Seventh Circle Audio N72 (neve type) pres (x2)

old A&H mixer if I need more.

 

Mics.

AKG 414 BULS - LDC

Peluso CEMC6 matched pair - SDC (new.. should receive tomorrow)

SM 57, SM58, Senn e855

AKG D 112

 

Instruments.

Drumset, guitars, Bass, MIDI controller, Soft Synths.

 

So now I think I finally have all my bases covered. Next, I need to work on the room and add bass traps and some sound treatement (I know... maybe should have done this first)..

 

Anyway... I'm happy with the progress. After working on the room, here's what's next on the list.

1. A couple more preamps would be nice.

2. Compressor -- RNC or better -- using software for now.

3. Maybe another SM57 or and RE 20

4. Talent, experience, and writing ability. :p

 

I'm just happy to finally have the basic setup down. Thought I'd share my joy

Hi Picker, do you have opinions about the new TR8 XL monitors??

 

 

I've been quite happy with them so far. I auditioned several in my price range and liked the sound of the Events the best..... Perhaps I should rephrase that.... They didn't necessarily sound the "best", but rather sounded the most "accurate" to my ears. Very flat and detailed response which is what I was looking for to mix.

By the way... I got the Pelusos last night and was quite impressed. I tested them recording my accoustic guitar and they really do sound Great!!...

 

I haven't tried them as Drum overheads yet, but for recording accoustic guitar, I couldn't be happier... very very nice.

Hey, let's not be silly now...no studio is ever "almost complete"!!! It's a giant Money Monster that needs constant feeding!! :D

 

Seriously, congratulations! It's always a thrill to get something up and running so you can record stuff.

 

Pictures?

Here's a quick clip from my first test with the pelusos

 

Mic 1 about 8" out around the 12th fret angled slightly toward the soundhole.

Mic 2 over my left shoulder pointing down.

 

Recorded the guitar w/ no effects at all.

 

Then added the vocals using the AKG 414 and put some compression and reverb on the vocal.

 

The level was a little low so I increased the level on the entire track by about 6db.

 

Thats' it.

 

Remember that this was just an inital test and only one take, so please excuse the mistakes etc.
