Hi, I know little about recording and even less about computers. And I am trying to set up a home studio! Basically, i want to record electric and acoustic guitars, drum machine.
So far, I’ve got an m-audio FireWire 410 and a windows xp laptop. I also have a condenser mic. I may have got an Ableton software along with the M-audio but anyway I’ll probably get a cubase or a nuendo.
What I need to know:
I am not sure if I need a separate mixer if I already have a Cubase/Nuendo. If I do, which are cheap & best?
Also, I am not sure how many/what type of speakers I should get for the studio. I've heard KRK Systems have good speakers.
Also, my computer doesn’t have a firewire port. So how can I connect the M-Audio to the laptop?
