Need help on equipment purchases

[thatnewguy]

Hello to everybody, ive always wanted to own good enough equipment to be able to set up a home studio in my basement where i can have artists come in and record and have just recently inherited a large amount of money from a relative and before this i had very little funding for my studio and never really thought about what to buy. Now i have the money im baffled at how much equipment there is to get and im really stuck now. please please please can someone explain to me exactly what i need.

my setup atm only consists of only the very basics - PC/MAC systems, MIDI controllers and Mackie HR824mk2 monitors.

everything else i dont own but now i have the money i want to buy all the relevant equipment needed to transform what i have into a full on home studio where i can even possibly charge qualified sound engineers to use it for recording / mastering / etc as i am only a producer

any suggestions will be much appreciated so please message back! please please please!

thanks for your time

You should get a power conditioner from furman or monster and an audio interface.. at least

and an Audio Interface like RME Fireface or Apogee Duet, Cheap but effective mics like Sure sm7b, sure SM58 or 57, maybe a condenser as well. You will need a DAW, Reaper is the cheapest that doesn't sacrafice quality. Definately need room treatment so the mixing engineers can actually "mix" at your place, and treatment for tracking instruments and vocals, check out ethan winer's real traps and info on that, 2 pairs of headphones like sony mdr's....plus alot more
you just have to accept that it's going to take time to develop an understanding for all of this and be patient and do research, and when you do ask a question in a forum it needs to be way more specific before most are going to dive in and give you any real advice.
