Samples are too obvious, more raw snare/kick would be cool.

Drum samples are laughably obvious, rest of it is cool!

I have the 5k iMac and love it. Massively less fatiguing to stare at all day and silly powerful. Unless you're at the upper echelons of the audio world, you don't need Thunderbolt 3.

Don't even look directly at the MG, and would agree with the consensus of holding out something decent. Buying TRULY shit gear like the aforementioned is false economy.

^. I personally hate TLM 103s for the intended role, and love 184 for typical OH duties but they're very different animals.

Totally part dependant. I play in a pop-rock band (Taking Back Sunday etc) and we just recorded a song with two meaty distorted sides (Les Paul through a Marshall Plexi, 1960B, AEA+ Royer mics) + Two jangly upper mid sides (Tele through a Bad Cat, Ampeg cab, 421s). Only worth while doing...

Fucking love this amp but I'm poor and don't use it much. Sadly discontinued and hard to get nowadays. Works perfectly, just the usual scratches on the tolex etc from a couple tours a few years ago. Super versatile amp, designed to basically be an AC30, JCM 800 and Soldano/5150 in one...

By real drums do you mean real cymbals?

Taking Back Sunday - 'Tell All Your Friends'. Bad edits, horrible mix, shitty MIDI instruments. They redeemed themselves with Louder now though. All 90's hardcore.

Will only make the room worse. Build some acoustic Rockwool panels, easy as hell. Maybe even float one of those if you're brave and confident of your workmanship.

Sam Pura/Eric Valentine's one looked cool

Internal will be fine but might want to move projects to an external one of performance ever starts to choke or you're recording high track counts

Former D5 owner here: Bought them when they were first announced, used the for a year in a few different rooms and tried REALLY hard to convince myself they were good and to justify the purchase. They're not great - the stereo imaging is the sole good thing about them. They're super mid rangey...

Link doesn't work
