I also want to look at Apogee stuff.
Thinking about a Neumann tlm-103
I may even look into protools
No need to worry about monitors here. That will be taken care of.
My room is not particularly treated. Just some Auralex on the walls and ceiling.
I'd say skip the tlm103 and try for something a little better as an all around mic. I used the 103s as overheads countless times, but never really got past the high end harshness. I used it on vocalists of all kinds and always found myself wanting something tighter sounding. The tlm 103 is has some off-axis stuff that makes it hard to deal with in a mix and it accentuates low-mid frequencies wayyyyy too much. trust me, do yourself a favor and stay away from that bad boy if it will have to be your go-to-mic.
