We have already bought a MXL V63M mic,OnStage mic stand, and an XLR mic cable. We havent purchased anything else yet hoping we could get some help before we continue buying equipment, but we are buying a Nady pop filter. Our Budget is $2000

Any Suggestions On Mixers,Computers,Headphones,StudioMonitors,MidiInterfaces, and anything else you think we need.

Thankyou!

A decent home studio will take the whole $2000
I suggest a Mackie DFX 12 Analog mixer

And a decent Vocal mic for a cheap cost is the Audio Technica 40-40

the cheapest recording software for qualtity would be Cakewalk Sonar 6.0


a good set of headphones for your budget will run for about 100

I don't know what kind of band your in but ribbon mics are nice for acustic

Dear Untouchable Ent,

It is many months now since you first posted this thread but I will reply and maybe you will see what I have written before or in the process of buying equipment.

First thing I want to tell you is that when you ask for advice on what equipment to get without having any options that your are choosing between, some people who respond to you will be "elitists" and will usually recommend the most expensive equipment out there. I do believe it is possible to achieve great sound without having the most expensive equipment. I am not saying that you want the cheapest stuff out there either. You must keep in mind the concept of "Garbage in. Garbage out." "Garbage" can be a result of poor recordings and/or equipment.

Computers:
-The processor speed and RAM are important. Have them both high because running plug-ins can be intensive.

Headphones:
-I recommend Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 headphones. They are light, comfortable, and sound great and were recommended for monitoring.

-I have also heard good things about the AKG 240s headphones however I have never heard them myself.

Studio Monitors:
-The right pair of studio monitors should be based on what type of room you record in, how big it is, etc. For a bigger room get bigger speakers, but I would suggest doing ALOT of research on monitors before just getting anything. I know someone who has a pair of Genelec monitors and t hey are insane. Of course, each speaker costs $1000. I own Event SP8 monitors and I am happy with them. I would suggest holding off on monitors until you've done alot of research on them.

I recommend getting a mic preamp. There are many models and brands out there so browse your options. I mainly record vocal tracks so I have a Presonus Eureka Channel Strip and I am VERY pleased with this. It has the mic preamp, compressor, and parametric eq built in. It has other features to and this might be something you want to also check out. It will make recordings sound great.

There are so many things to look into for a home studio. I suggest just taking your time and reading reviews on equipment before making impulse purchases.

Budget Shopping list:

Mic Preamp
Audio Interface
Computer
Software
Monitors/Headphones

Recommendations:

-ART Studio Tube preamp (single)
-SM Pro Audio 4-channel or 8-channel (not bad for the price)
-endless interface options-- this depends heavy on what you are doing, how many channels you need.
-AMD Sempron PC. Read user reviews for input on specific PCs/motherboards.
-Sonar Home Studio or N-Track Studio (software)
-Headphones: Audio Technica has some good low-budget models
