Hi everyone,
Let me start by saying I used to post here fairly regularly but I've been out of the loop for a LONG time. I'm looking at getting back in there if I can.
I used to have a band in australia called 'Celephai' and I was the songwriter/producer/mixer (if you can call me that) of the band, and I had a lot of fun doing this kind of stuff in the spare time I had when I was studying at uni. I was never particularly good, but as I said, I had a lot of fun.
Here is a link to the band. The last post we did is what I would consider one of my better mixes I guess.

I was studying high school teaching and have sinced moved into a rural area of Australia where I'm one of the only metalheads and there is no good advice within a 5 hour drive. I'm still very passionate about music and I'd like some pointers on what I should look at buying to get a small rig back up and running again. I say 'small' as it's always going to be a bedroom thing, as I don't do it professionally, but now that I have a decent job and an income, I don't want to skimp as much as I had to a few years ago.
My rig back then...
Old Lenovo laptop.
Line6 toneport UX2
Recabinet 3 (have since wiped my computer but I'm sure I could e-mail them and get it back).
Samson rubicon r5a monitors.
Used to use Cubase SX3 that a friend gave me.
Legit copies of Superior drummer 2.0 and The metal foundry.
Have a couple of sm57s.
In the way of music gear...
Dual recto with trad cab.
6505+ with 1960a cab.
C7 Hellraiser with 81-7.
C7 Loomis.
Yamaha 5 string bass of some sort.
I've got some stuff that most definitely needs upgrading, such as the DAW, computer and interface. Everything else will be fine for now, but I've got no idea where to start with the rest of it.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Thanks in advance.
