Preparation - simple project

[GretschHead]

I am planning to do a simple project (Acoustic, Vox, a bit of Piano to fill in here and there, backgroundish). I have reasonable expectations... not expecting miracles, but will be satisfied with a good effort. It will be an EP and will finance a later project. I have a tiny bit of gear left over from a previous effort. (lost a lot of gear)

So far, I have:
001 with many Waves plugs
SM-81
SM-58's (many)
SM-57
RSM-4 (2)
Joe Meek 3Q (2)

What I plan to purchase:

Monitors:
Tascam VL-X5 or YSM1P
Again, this is a 1st step and a simple project. I don't need a lot of punch and the mix will be sparse.

Vocal Mic:
CAD Trion 8000


Conversion:
Alesis IO14




Any thoughts?

You can really do AMAZING things with that Trion 8000, no question. It doesn't have a pad... and it doesn't have a roll-off... so you'll need to find a good "working distance" and a proper environment for it... but if you can nail all that down, amazing, as I say.

So that part of the plan looks good to me.
