All metal recording GODS help us out!

[CRIMSON RECORDS]

My bandmates and I are starting a recording studio and I'm pretty new to the audio engineering world. We're really serious about it so if you guys don't mind helping me out that would be awesome. What gear do you guys recommend for a studio in general? We're looking mainly for metal recording gear. I've been looking around and i've seen a whole lot of recording equipment but i honestly dont know whats best for us. We have a $50,000 dollar budget so money isn't really an option. I don't even know where to start so help me out.

How do you have that much money?

Stick with the old four-track! Wrong section though, sorry.

2 sets of monitors near feild and far feilds a switch box to switch in between the 2. Like using 4 or 5 inch drives for near feild and 8-12 inch for far feilds. Sub. A decent board. Soundcraft can do it for a small budget. A decent soundcard and a computer dedicated "MAC". Using 2 rack mount soundcards would be ideal. I use a Tascam fw-1804. A patch bay Balanced or unbalanced, 2 Compressors/gates (DBX, Alesis), An Efx Module or 2, graphic Eq is important for tuning your room. Software like Pro tools, Cubase Or Logic would be pretty ideal. Maybe a seperate CD Burner. See if you can Possible get a Used Radar System that would sum a lot of the things into just a straight digital 24 track recorder.

good mics. drum mics are a thing of coarse. A really good Condenser for vox and Guitars. But make sure you get the appropriate mics for the appropriate jobs with the appropriate polarities..

That could sum it all up.

Wanna get it all with budget.

EBAY


I have seen some serious 16-24 channels boards on there for a decent price...

Cheers

They've already saved up $50,000... did it occur to you that they're talking about running a business, not just recording their project?
