For the gearheads… my little rig…
The first thing encountered by the sound waves is an sE pop screen which is an interestingly different design that works well, then it typically hits an EV RE20 cardioid dynamic mic or maybe a CAD M37 or Audio Technica AT-2020 cardioid condenser. Then into either a Symetrix 528E channel strip or a lot of the time I go directly into a PreSonus Firebox, which is currently the computer interface.
Monitoring the sound… for this I have two headphones to choose from, Sony MDR-7506 and Sennheiser HD-280 Pros, both of which are great. For control room monitors I have M-Audio BX-5 powered monitors and for “the Auratones” I use Altec ACS-430 computer speakers.
The computer is a Boxx 3DBoxx 5404 workstation. I use Sound Forge and Vegas for audio, usually Sound Forge. I also have Cubase LE that came with something, but it’s not loaded even though it’s very good.
There’s more stuff lying about, which I should set up again, and I will one of these days. I better go, it’s time to give auntie her evening pills… should do another audition before I crash, too.
