QUOTE (sammetal92 @ Jun 20 2013, 02:36 PM)  omg omg omg  looks a freaking mazing! I'm a college student with some equipment and no money, and I'd kill to have a studio like that, but don't worry I won't kill you  And welcome to GMC! If you can provide some guidance on this, I'd be thankful  I'm a student with a job and I got a scholarship just recently but decided to save most of it for future education, so anything that could help me get some recordings done and shown to the world would be insanely epic!  Thanks Sam. I will help as I can. It doesn't take much money these days to put together a baseline recording set-up. Essentially a Computer, Recording Software, an Analog to Digital interface with preamps and Phantom power, some headphones and or monitors and a decent microphone. EXAMPLE: ProTools and Interface-$159 US Studio Headphones $29 Studio Monitors-$149 Studio Monitors-$199 Studio Microphone-$99 Microphone Stand w/Boom Arm-$24 Microphone Cable-$19 I am not meaning to "Plug" Sweetwater Music but as they are primarily Recording Based, It is easy for me to find good examples. As far as "Plug"  is concerned, Mark Bruhn of Sweetwater has been a great help in my own personal experience.QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Jun 20 2013, 03:16 PM) Hi man! Welcome to GMC!! That's an awesome place! Your equipment is really good and your designs look great! What are you working on currently? Recording-wise, I have been recording a young man in my studio who is putting together a song that is pretty interesting. It is primarily based on Drop-Tuned Heavy Metal Guitar with Influences of Techno and Dance. The past few days he has been "writing parts" via Cubase 6.5 for "Over-Drive" Bass Guitar and Techno Drums. Otherwise, I am slowly finishing up the design of this DIY Keyboard Stand so I can take photos and create Build Plans for it. BG This post has been edited by bobg: Jun 21 2013, 01:59 AM |

My dad can make amps and cables, along with a few effects pedals like boost, fuzz etc. I use REAPER alot, I found it much easier than Cubase, although I've never tried Pro Tools, probably because REAPER is very cheap and great quality. I have a pretty good PC: Core i7, 3.6GHz 1TB Hard Drive 16 GB RAM Sound card (internal one) I've got good quality stereo headphones by JVC. I don't know if that qualifies for being studio standard? So now I need an interface (I plug my guitar directly to the sound card via line-in), some monitors (I have regular surround speakers, nothing special) and a microphone with a stand. Can you recommend a good quality interface that isn't very expensive and works with REAPER? Thanks for the help, man!

BG QUOTE (vonhotch @ Jun 20 2013, 06:04 PM) That looks like a great set up. I love DIY stuff. How did you make those acoustic panels? And welcome!!! I used "Naked" 2-inch X 2 ft X 4ft Panels of Owens-Corning 703 Compressed Fiberglass then wrapped them myself. I bought them from ATS Acoustics here in Illinois:http://www.atsacoustics.com/cat--Fiberglas...-106.html"" target="_blank">ATS ACOUSTICS-DIY</a> Speaking in generalities, lower bass frequencies require thicker amounts of OC-703. Thus 2" thick will make nice Broadband Absorbers and 4" thick will absorb lower frequencies. It's generally recommended to have a mixture of both, with thicker panels concentrated in room corners as the corners tend to "Collect" Bass Frequencies.

Can you recommend a good quality interface that isn't very expensive and works with REAPER? Thanks for the help, man! Thanks for your kind words! That bass has seen a lot of work and travel and as it was built in Japan it's build quality is great. There are a ton of lower-cost interfaces that will work such as the M-Audio one "Sensible Jones" shared. The M-Audio version of the Fast-Track is no longer in production but is now built under the "Pro-Tools/Avid" name: Avid Fast-Track Solo $179 I lean towards the Focusrite Saffire Product Line as they seem to get high marks.Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 $249 Whether it works with Reaper is something that would need to be asked of them. However there are a lot of under $300 interfaces that would do what you need. BG This post has been edited by bobg: Jun 21 2013, 06:27 PM |

BG Thanks, I didn't realize that you were selling plans on your website, or I would not have asked. I now remember seeing your site while I was looking for a design to build a desk. I got lazy and just used an old computer desk I forgot I had, but I like your designs. -------------------- |

Welcome to GMC!! That's an awesome place! Your equipment is really good and your designs look great! What are you working on currently? I am actually recording a young man whose name is Gabriel! He is a former Trombone and Bass Guitar Student of mine from a number of years ago. The song we are currently working on is based primarily on Drop Tuned Metal with influences of Techno and Dance. He has been writing in the Bass and Drum Parts via Cubase 6.5 and yesterday we worked primarily on his vocals. In regards to my DIY Projects, I want to finish up the Keyboard Desk design/build and get Build Plans completed. Other than that, it is the standard Husband, Father and part-time bread-winning roles.
