How would you spend $1000 (US) on hardware? (pg. 3)

I would personally get some hardware compressors/mastering tools.
My way of working is to send 8 stereo channels from Cubase containing ALL the hardware and software sounds (for example, 1-2 kick, 3-4 drums, 5-6 bass low, 7-8 bass high, 9-10 synth far, 11-12 synth near, 13-14 effects, 15-16 vocals) from motu 24I/O to Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro where they are mixed and some EQ applied. From the mixer just 1 stereo channel returns to Cubase. I am going to get analog compressors (DBX 266) for all the 8 stereo channels and some mastering processors (TFPro P38, SPL Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T) for the stereo return to Cubase. Just an option to think about if you want your VSTi's to sound warmer. Analog stem mixing FTW! :) |

| I find when I produce in the box all my sounds end up TOO warm. |

I just think the sound is much more refined and it's easier for all the sounds to fit in the mix when I do the analog stem mixing as I said vs. mixing everything digitally inside the DAW. I'm not sure if warm was the right word to describe the difference. But there's no way I'm going back to mixing everything digitally. :)
And Mysticalninjas sig says it all about VSTi's really. |

I'd spend 1$ on a really good kick sample and 999$ on alcohol :toothless
or I'd just buy a second hand virus B and save the rest of the money :) |

| No one mentioned a Virus C. How come? Everyone seems to mention the Virus B instead. |

| I would drop 1,000 on a new virus ti desktop and then pay it off later. |

Monitor speakers if you don't have those, otherwise as diginut said, a powercore or uad...
Probably the powercore with the virus powercore multi license.
unlimited virus b's (well, limited to the ammount of processing units on your DSP card) for the price of about 1 second hand virus b :D
Cheaper than a TI and nearly the same possibilities, put in a software plug...
Those processing cards are awesome! |
