Chrisjon89: Home Recording Gear/software

beefshoes 03.20.11	I record with Reaper and FL Studios for Trip Hop or any ambient stuff. and I do all of my drums through EZ Drummer. I am hoping to get some new software to edit my guitar tone here soon.
pmmets07 03.20.11	my bro uses abelton
Bitchfork 03.20.11	What you've got is completely fine. Nice list.
Bitchfork 03.20.11	also audacity and sound recorder
UnnamedOcean 03.20.11	My friend is more of the engineer in the band we have, but I think he uses ableton. We are planning on getting a really nice interface with 8 mic/instrument inputs and an array of microphones to record a debut album of sorts.
Hyperion1001 03.20.11	I'm currently using Reaper, Presonus Audiobox, Sennheiser dynamic and condenser, EZ Drummer for all the drums. Working on getting some monitors and fabricating a nice recording environment.
fr33convict 03.20.11	Well the gear you have is infinitely better than what I have haha.
Chrisjon89 03.20.11	I'm looking at getting a new interface soon, and maybe a nice condenser mic. I'm doing a course in sound production at the moment and I regularly get to use a pretty sweet mixing console with 24 inputs hooked up to Pro Tools HD, with a decent amount of outboard gear and some of it is good stuff. Good monitor speakers too. The studio is soundproofed and stuff - you can make good 'CD quality' sounds happen with that stuff but at the same time I dig the home lo-fi vibe.
ButcheredChildren 03.20.11	SHUTUP FOOLZ Ableton Live 8 Cubase 5
JJwins 03.20.11	FL Studio, Ableton Live 8, Reason 5 (rewire the other 2 into ableton), KRK RP5 G2 Monitors, M Audio Fastrack pro interface, around 300 vst's (including all of the essentials, albino 3, ez drummer, massive, guitar rig 4). I'm a tech geek though haha. About to invest in a really really nice gibson LP this summer. I've had an epiphone les paul standard which ran me like $750 for a few years, going to upgrade that to the gibby. It's hard for me to find guitars though because I'm a lefty. After I upgrade my guitar, getting a nice ass orange amp, maybe a line 6 dl4, and a condenser mic. Then my home studio will be basically complete.
bloc 03.20.11	POD HD and REAPER software.
JJwins 03.20.11	is that pod hd pretty sick? been thinking of getting one, but don't know if it's worth it.
bloc 03.20.11	It's fucking king man. I got the 500 model and you can literally do anything you want with it. Yes, I had save up like mad for it but personally I think it's worth it. I watch A LOT of youtube videos before making my final decision though.
Bitchfork 03.20.11	need a piezo mic
taylormemer 03.20.11	Aside from yur dynamics (SM57, 58) RODE condenser mics are great value, such as the NT2A. Also invest in some good reference monitors like Yamaha NS-10s (expensive though). Having multiple sets of monitors isn't such a bad idea either. In terms of software, it doesn't really make much difference. I use PT9 now, but started with Audacity, and before that CoolEdit Pro.
