Not sure if this is going to be moved to the right thread/ room.
I'm building a very basic home recording studio. I already have some items like macbook, midi controller, logic studio. Now I'm moving a step further and getting more equipment, like monitor speaker, mixer (if required), condenser mic, etc. What honestly, I don't know what is more important or required to make my home recording studio in a state of basic recording-ready.
WHAT AM I RECORDING:
1. Vocals
2. Electric/ Acoustic Guitars
3. MIDI keyboard
WHAT OTHER EQUIPMENT SHOULD BUY?
1. Mixer?
2. Monitor Speaker?
3. Condenser Microphone?
4. Others?
My budget is below $800, if can lower la.. And currently, I'm looking at Yamaha 8-track mixer, some low-end-good-enough monitor speakers and condenser microphone. So, if possible I try to spend as little as possible. Bear in mind, a basic recording home studio not Abbey Road hehe...
So my idea is to just record guitar, keyboards (midi), then vocals, then mix and master it using my macbook logic studio.
Some said mixer isn't important, some said I need it. Ahhh.. very confused. What do I really need now? I don't wanna be buying something and later find out that I don't need it, like some said mixers are not very important, since I already can do it in my Logic Studio, which is true in some or many ways... well, that's an example, and I'm sure there's more to discover from you experts and pros out there.
So please be kind and delicate, and help me.
Thanks buddies, I love you all
