Just picked up a a focusrite mixmaster... very useable compressor section and sits well on the 2-bus too. Don't see these around too much.
also a set of Dynaudio BM5a's... breaking them in right now. These sound very accurate to me, can't wait to start mixing on them.

dynamic - Shure SM7B

condenser- ADK vienna or hamburg

TC GMajor will cover your delays, chorus, reverbs quite well. And just get a decent true bypass wah pedal, I recommend a Budda Budwah. Add a midi foot controller like a midimate if you need foot control.

Looks like they're dropping the prices on these. Sweetwater has them too. Crap I don't really need more mics right now, but tempting.

vacuuming with a soft brush attachment works best for me.

We're not just talking about lips getting popped and losing some equipment. There is also a real potential for a fire in an old house with old wiring. My house is 100 years old and very few of the wall outlets are grounded. The ones that are just have the third prong going to a 12" copper rod in th...

For safety reasons if there is no equipment ground available at the outlet you should replace the two pronged outlet with GFCI receptacles. They will offer protection from an imbalance in current (a short) and could potentially save your life if you or someone else plugs in anything that is faulty o...

I bought a nice big roll of this at joann online. Comes in different colors, doesn't smell bad. I used it on my corner traps, wall panels and plan on making some gobos yet. I used unbleached muslin for the ceiling, replacing all the 2x2 drop ceiling panels with muslin covered 703. Did a few ceiling ...

These M177's are great for the price. I nabbed a pair the last time they ran this deal. Working out nice on overheads for me.

What's the story with the upgraded power supplies on the 8824's? Also may be interested in one.

Seriously, I'd start by seeing what it's going to take to construct a decent space and treat it for great sound before I'd worry about the equipment.
Then decide how you want to work.

I have an Ashly parametric eq that isn't really bad at all. Someone gave it to me but I believe they are in your price range if you can find one. Mine is a pq66 but it looks just like the sc66a, not sure what the differences are.

This may seem like a silly question, but what's it take to turn these 2 channel strips into a unit that fits into a rack and can have mics plugged into it and send out a signal, like those nifty racked pm1000 units that are so popular around here? For me it took a bit of online research, some rack-...

He hasn't been around lately on the studioforums.com board either. Maybe someone over there knows how to get ahold of him. Try posting over there.

Another option at least for the a/d is a Lucid 9624. I just picked one up for $400 and they usually can be had used for that or maybe a little more. That's probably the best bang for buck converter in my opinion. I think it's better than the RME ADI which I also have. Maybe not quite as good as the ...
