What I have:
p4 2.4 ghz /1.5 gigs memory/300 gig HD/Reason 3.0/Kurzweil 2500s/Cubase LE.
Sound Card: is an Audigy Platinum (was great for toying around because I also play computer games) but now i want to get serious with "Vocals".
Monitors: I have the Rokit5s and love them thanks to all the FP advice and personal research. Now because of my soundcard and the Klipsh 5.1speaker system i have hooked up to it, I purchased an Alesis mutlimix 8 USB mixer to connect my Rokits.
I now want to get the RP 10 sub monitor for low end response.
1. Do I need to get 2 of these or is 1 enough. (I produce Hip Hop)
2. How would I hook the sub or subs to the mixer and still controll the total mix with the "control room knob" on the mixer (or does it not matter)
3. I also want to start recording vocals and my above setup is conflicting (I cant isolate the vocals when using the mixer as my audio interface =/ I cant figure it out.) Its USB CODEC and I have little hair left to pull from the countless hours of trying to isolate the mic from the mix. (I get vocals and music together when i just want the vocals accapella).
So it leads me to the next question.
Its time for a new Soundcard/interface any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For a 1k Budget im thinking below is my solution.
Im thinking a new soundcard/ a good mic pre amp/ (I have a Shure SM58) a new mic for Vocals if I can squeeze it/ as well as my RP 10s.
Thanks again in advance.
