Yes, so now I have finally upgraded to an even better home recording setup. Got a better computer, better audio interface, studio monitors and now I’m finally able to use my phantom powered condenser mic. I still gotta add a few more things to my new and improved home recording setup.

I’m also planning on buying some kind of drum machine. I would like to get a drum machine to hook up to the audio interface so I can create my own drum tracks for my original songs. I’m planning on getting one of those soon.

I would also like to get some kind of MIDI controller. I’ve been trying to learn how to play keyboards a little bit so I can learn the basics and I can play synthesizers for my songs. That way I can add orchestration, strings and all kinds of other instruments to my songs.

I’ve debated on getting an audio mixer but I don’t really need those ’cause most DAW’s have built-in audio mixers anyways. You don’t really need an audio mixer for home recording. Only when you have an “actual” studio, it maybe good to have an audio mixer.

I should get a pop filter so I can record clean vocals to avoid breathing and popping sounds. I will also need a music stand so I can have something to hold notebooks on for lyrics and stuff.

I’ll start saving for all this stuff sometime in the near future. I’m proud of what I have so far, though.
