Hello!
I've been a follower of this forum for a while but have never registered until now. The reason I've registered is because me and my brother a planning to build ourselves a nice studio mainly to record our own stuff and we need some help.
To the thing, we are pretty spoiled by our father and we will get a budget of 350 000 450 000 SEK, this is about $50 000 - $65 000. $10 000 - $15 000 will go for building the room etc. and the rest for equipment.
My thoughts are to go for a Pro Tools HD 3 accel system with one Apogee AD-16X and one Apogee Rosetta 800. This will, if I've understood it correctly, give me 24 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs(?). I believe this will be enough for standard recordings, or am I wrong? Also I've got another dumb question, why do you need many outputs?
As far as mic-preamps goes I've been looking at the Digidesign C|24. It got 16 mic-preamps and I've got the DAW controller in one package. Still missing 8 mic-preamps so any suggestion of what to get?
Am I missing out on something? Do you think I should go with another DAW controller and external mic-preamps? Should I go for a smaller DAW controller and an analog mixing console?
All help would be greatly appreciated!
Jon
