Home Studio - Home Audio Recording
It has come to my attention that some of you guys tinker with music recording like I do. I'm mostly recording bass, guitars, & vocals. I want to try some new shit and I could use some help. (I didn't want to hijack the Line 6 thread so I started a new one)

1. What type of software do you guys use? I've used Cakewalk Home Studio in the past & it does OK. (I am not an Apple guy) I've heard good things about Acid.

2. The thing that always kills me is drum tracks. I don't have a drum set so I have tried a fer drum simulators, but the sound bad. I also have a drum machine which sounds good, but is a huge pain in the ass to use. What do you guys use to do this?

Ez drummer is great for creating drum tracks. Superior drummer dives more into then editing those midi drums to sound realistic.

Pro tools is great because it is industry standard and a great overall interface.

Cubase and logic pro are also widely used.


Pro tools is not expensive if you are cool with running pirated software and plugins. (LE 8)
The newer versions have not been cracked as far as I know.

Cubase will accept vst format plugins so you can get more freeware based plugs.

Like gear, you should choose your daw based on budget and goals.

I still utilize some features in cool edit daily. It's a great software to open up quickly and do some minor edits.

OK, so I dragged my feet on this for a looooong ass time, but I finally bought a presonus audio interface with Studio One. I also bought EZDrummer 2. I like this setup so far, but I haven't really had a chance to do a ton with it. I'm really looking forward to experimenting with it this winter.

It all depends on how much you want to spend my friend, but I can help lead you in the right direction.

This may help with monitors in this price range:

I'm familiar with these:

JBL LSR305 <---- my fav
M-Audio BX5a
KRK Rokit 5
Tannoy Reveal 402


I'd like try out these:
Focal Alpha 50

Awesome video. I actually went with the Yamaha speakers. I was planning to get the Rockets, but, as illustrated in the video, they have an exaggerated low end. The Yamaha speakers were a little more money, but I thought they sounded better both on the video and in the store.

The Marshall amp simulators are crunchy.
(All guitar preamps are awesome)
Midi Instruments are user friendly and they sound good.
easy to upload samples.
Etc, etc.
I have one track that I'm just in love with.

I recorded a really rough track last night & it sounds great. I don't know if it's the speakers or the new preamp, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Now if I only had more time to dick with it....
