Hey,

Looks like I'll be re-locating my studio soon to a venue that has a live room. This will be good for recording real drums and with some imagination, entire bands.

Thing is I've been a backroom programmer for most of my music production life, so this is a whole other world.

I'm going to need some ideas of additional kit I'll need. I'm thinking of the Mackie Digital 24 Multi track - can't imagine my PC being up to it, and some ideas on the least amount of mics/outboard bits that you think you can get a nice recording with.

I guess it needs to be versatile, I'm not specialising in one kind of music style, good alrounders.

Without going crazy, what budget would you set aside to do this with? My mike collection is small '74 Neumann U87i, Shure SM58, SE2200 Condensor.

I guess I'm after a quality that I can charge for, so not cheap and nasty, but not la la land prices either.

Thanks as always
