Monitors, Strip or Control Surface?
I currently have an NTK, an NT1a, a Mindprint DI-Port, and an AMIII card. I have a bit of spare cash and I'm thinking about what to get next...
- a pair of nearfield monitors (I'm using Spendor S100s on the end of my hifi at the moment). I'm thinking TR5s, M1s or RP5s. - a channel strip (I record mainly classical guitar and vocals: the comp would be useful??) - TL Audio 5051??? - I also fancy the moving faders on the Behringer B-control (if they work with PT...) So what should be at the top of my list? TIA |

Go for the channel strip. You only live once.

Nah, go for the monitors. What's the point of comp if you can't hear the results?
Just MHO. -Olaf |

Audio monitors are the link between you and what you record. Wihtout good accurate monitors in a properly tuned room, you will be constantly fighting the acoustics of physics.
Monitors and converters are IMHO the two most important ingrediats in your gear. |

Thanks for the replies. Even though I fancied the cool faders and shiny lights and purposeful knobs (oo-er) of the others, I guess I'll probably get some monitors. I wonder which of the above work well at low volumes...
Thanks again! |
