As has been mentioned elsewhere, I suspect your biggest can of worms is going to be acoustics. The mics you list are all fine. Getting great sounds has more to do with:
a) Getting great sounds. Not being facetious. If you have a great sounding guitar and a great sounding amp getting a great sound in a decent sounding room you're way more than half-way there. Figure out where to put the mics and you should have great sounding tracks. Same with acoustic guitar. If you have a great sounding guitar and you know how to play it the battle is almost won.
b) See "a".

Goal is to record electric and/or acoustic music to a very high level of quality. Have many super talented musician friends that want to participate in creating quality music. Have friends already recording "experienced" but want to have the convenience of having everything in-house here. Already planning on file sharing with tracks being added as an iterative process.
In process of building a high powered scratch built PC - Intel Quad core Q9550 and all the good stuff in mobo, memory, drives, Firewire, etc., targeting an RME 800 Fireface, acquiring Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer, have a Mackie CR1604VLZ, have SM57's, have a AKG C414, have a EV ND468, acquiring a Rode NT1a, have loads of high end audio systems but looking at getting Adam Audio A7 monitors for the studio.
Any thoughts on potential mis-steps here?? or additions that need to be made?? |
