I'm not here for snide remarks, or arrogant attitudes so please keep any airy comments out.
I just recently started my own home studio for myself (not for a band, or other bands) because Ive tried many many other projects that have all failed miserably. I am not looking to be an amazing producer, or steal ideas from anyone/any band, I'm simply looking for some help and ideas as to ways i can better my experience and learn something new from this experience as a musician and a home producer.
Here's a list of my equipment, I bought on a tight budget. I am not currently looking for more expensive equipment or the best, just some ideas as to what I could use now to help me, or if I am missing anything.
*MIC (w/pop filter and boom stand)
-Audio-Technica AT2035 (Condenser)
-Shure PG48 (Dynamic)
*DAW
-Acoustica Mixcraft 5
*Sound Card/Interface
-Line 6 Pod Farm UX2
*Software
-Propellerhead Reason 5
-Fruity Loops Studio 9
-Antares Autotune
*Monitors/Headphones
-Mackie MR5
-AKG K 44
*MidiController
-Akai Professional MPK 25
*Guitar
-Ibanez ARX320
*Drums
-Reason Reddrum Drum Machine Samples
The reason I posted to the "Joey Sturgis" forum is because Im a fan of his work, and his production abilities. I like every band that has ever recorded with him and hope to work with him my self one day. I really like the styles of many musicians but only certain aspects.
The Color Morale - Rythm Guitar (Riffs/Tone)
Of Machines - Lead Guitar (Smooth/Delay) *Not Sturgis
Attack Attack! - Guitar (Breakdowns/Tone)
We Came As Romans - Programming (Everything)
Of Mice & Men - Bass (Clean/Loud/Tone)
Woe, Is Me - Drums (Samples)
This wont be my only question/forum post I have many ideas, and a lot of questions. If anyone has any questions about my equipment please feel free to ask, and if anyone knows any easy to use, or any good gear (at a small budget price) I would love the input. Im here to learn, help and better myself. So be friendly!
