I am trying to set up a bit of a home studio where I live and am struggling a bit on the best way to put it all together. I don't play in a band, can't sing for nuts and my guitar skills are 2 shades above dismal. However I am having a lot of fun.
The only thing is I am struggling on the tetchy side of it all. Which is a bit silly as I am a Tech and Computer Nerd. It is all a bit of a Jigsaw and I just know I am not using it all in the optimal configuration.
Here is What I have...
AudioBox iTwo Studio | PreSonus
Yamaha EMX 660
Boss ME30
Which to be honest I don't really like, no matter what I do it sounds screechy and I can seem to get a Phat sound out of it.
MK-4902 Midi Keyboard (Crappy but then I play Crappy too)
Acoustic Guitar,
Electric guitar,
Bass Guitar,
Mike etc
Midi to USB converter
Numerous computers and Laptops to use.
Software I have Legal Copies of.
Studio One 3
Guitar Rig 5
Reaper V5.4
Korg Synth Simulator with Software Midi.
As i am really not all that happy with the Boss Pedal I would rather use the Guitar Rig Software for the effects. I am not in a band and don't really have any Muso mates anymore.
Ultimately what I hope to achieve is to plod away and create stuff and record some of the songs I have written. Slow and bit by bit in Studio One or Reaper.
However I am getting pretty lost in the best way put it all together.
Anyone got a set up at home, or suggestions on how they would use it all.
I currently sound a bit like this...
