I think it’s a pretty good idea to get studio speaker monitors after all. I also think it’s a good idea to get both studio monitors and regular stereo speakers w/ stereo amplifier.

I’ve already found an audio interface that I’m interested in getting… I think I’m gonna go for the Focusrite Scarlett 214:

The Focusrite product is getting mostly positive reviews from recording musicians out there so I think I’m gonna give that product a try. I think I’m gonna move on from M-Audio Fast Track ’cause I don’t really like it and think I’m gonna try something different.

I’m hoping to find studio equipment that will give me a good enough clean studio sound w/ no background hiss or anything like that.

Trying to find good studio monitors (speakers) is pretty tough. I don’t wanna get no cheap studio monitors… somewhere around the 150 – 200 price range is good enough for me. I want a good enough loud and full sound with bass and a subwoofer. Same with regular stereo speakers. I’m gonna get both kind of speakers studio monitors and stereo.

I’m also gonna look into getting some new DAW software… the ones with MIDI on them and the ones that have piano roll and stuff. That way I can type in the chords, notes and stuff to get ideas out of my head. I do know some music theory. I’m not a music theory wiz yet but getting there, though. Learning music theory would help with home music recording when you’re working with MIDI and stuff. I want to make my own backing tracks for my songs so I can create some great guitar jams and stuff. I’m researching and googling all of this information as best as I can.

Maybe I will even say fuck MIDI… I’ll just get a real band together with human musicians!!! Still though, MIDI is a good idea to help get song ideas out of your head and you won’t forget ’em.

For a long time now, I’ve been trying to find ways to make band backup behind my songs and that’s what I want. Hopefully, someday make a full band rock n’ roll album with tight as hell riffs and face-melting guitar solos all over! Someday I would like to release my debut album so I can maybe release for Itunes, Spotify, etc. It’ll all gonna be homemade on a low budget. That’s how Eastbound Jesus recorded their first album, I believe. I’d like to do the same thing.

I’m in desperate need of a whole new recording rig and I’m working things out.
