There's a pretty long list of stuff I want and will save for, I currently have SOME money and am getting ready to tick something off the list, but what would you get first?
At the moment, I'm recording guitar/bass/vocals and programming drums as I suspect many of you are.
Guitars - I have a few high end electrics, could always do with more for alt tunings
Amps - I should be set, dual rec, mark iv, 5150... could always do with more
Cabs - mesa traditional 4x12, marshall 1960a... Would like a mesa oversized as well
Mics - pair of sm57's, happy
Pre - Focusrite TwinTrak Platinum, room for upgrade!!!
Converter - TC Studio Konnekt 48 interface, happy!
And a room I'm happy with as well. So...that's 90% there I think, top of the line pre would give me a no excuses setup, extra cab just for options...
Acoustic Guitar - shitty Yamaha, sm57 or 58 or 7b. Seriously lacking...
Bass - schecter hellraiser 5 string, ampeg svx. Sounds good, I'm just not a good bassist...or mixer wouldnt mind something different as well.
Vox - 58, 57 or 7b. Not bad! A condensor would be a welcome addition.
Drums - SSD 3.5, Superior Drummer 2.0
Plugins - waves consoles and a few other things, c4 etc, soundtoys, slate fg-x. I'm content here
Monitoring - Genelec 8040, Adam A7 , happy! Will try VERY hard not to buy more monitors lol
Ok so onto things I want to do...
1. Sort out my Acoustic guitar chain, from source to mics, pres, compressors...
2. Get set up for acoustic drums
3. Improve anything else where possible
4. Only buy stuff I will never need to upgrade
So my list of things I'm looking at
API A2D
API 3124
Focusrite ISA 428 and AD card
Would be a great set of pres and converters for drums and everything else
Acoustic guitar - Martin D-1 or Taylor equivelant, need to play a few
Neumann KM184 pair
Various other mics, could go on and on...
Bass, after the 25 bass comparison, I want a spector!
I want a distressor, or a pair for vox, acoustic guitar, whatever else
Api 2500 for mix bus work. I like the waves version so much that I have to have this!
So...where would you start? I'm leaning towards pickibg up the API A2D in the next couple weeks, it would properly finish off my electric guitar recording chain and would be a help for every other instrument too. And then moving on to the acoustic stuff...
Sorry for the long post, I'm VERY bored at work...
