I'm in, if only to give some other guy a bye. ;)

Welp, I've had trouble tracking down the guy who's selling me the MSP5a's (the guy's literally in a different state every time I call him), so I went to craigslist to look for some more. Now there's an ad with JBL 6208s for $280/pair. Better monitors than the hsp5a? I've been reading reviews...

Drummer's, because, well, I'm a drummer.

jesus christ who the fuck would do that this free program will clear up registry errors for you: http://www.ccleaner.com/ run it every week or so.

I'd recommend Yate Loon case fans. Stick to http://silentpcreview.com/ for methods of keeping your computer quiet. Site's great.

If the mobo has a spare PCI slot (it should) he can get a few firewire ports for $20-$30. 800 and/or 400. Just adding a little to the price. Like the guy above said, get a gaming PC without the graphics card, but be sure to that the motherboard has a VGA port, or whatever you'll use to...

Yeah, I'm getting those, really looking forward to picking them up. I might've gotten the rockets on impulse, but each store only had one, which would've made for another hour+ of driving. Glad I researched first. But it's not to say GC didn't have a nice sale or two this weekend. I stocked up...

Problem with that is that they charge a restocking fee. :( I'm in the same exact situation ($300, looking for my first monitors, went to Guitar Center, weird, isn't it?), and all I can say is don't believe their "The List" prices. They just raise their prices exponentially as the retail price...

*shrug* Ok. :P I'm pretty much just parroting what other people have told me at this point.

SM58 is fine for live vocals, but it's not what you want for the studio.

Hey, I'm new to this as well, so don't take my word for much. But as far as I know, you do not want an SM57 for vocals or acoustic guitar. That's the land of condenser mics. As for which of those to get, I'm working on that right now. Wide condensers are for vocals, and thin ones are for...

Excellent album. I haven't listened to it in a couple of months, but I definitely remember it. It stands out.

Cool, thanks for these. Newb question -- how do I use these with a sampler? I've got Reason and Cubase.

Got pics? I'm looking to do this as well.

I was referred here by a chap I know from another forum named Dan, a bassist. I'm new to all of this stuff. I bought, then built, a powerful PC (on XP) and a Firebox about a month ago (someone please confirm that this is a decent choice, you know how it is with big purchases in fields you don't...
