Very cool! Thank you for the links, interruptor. I actually looked at that controller and thought about it, but I think I like the idea of sliders better than knobs. Although that video sure makes a great argument for knobs! Haha. I got my computer today, I'm in the middle of installing software on ...

I definitely like that one better. Multi-channel control is better than single channel, especially for a lower price. Thanks for pointing that out. I think that does it, then.

I agree. That reverb is absolute last priority. What do you think about the DAW Controller instead of a mixer option?

Well, I'd be recording one track at a time anyway. This is just me doing this as a hobby. I've been doing a lot of reading and research on what I'd need, and I wonder what you guys would think about this setup for dub production: Computer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883108...

Oh yes. I should have said something before... I do computer stuff for a living, so I have additional RAM to add and another monitor to supply. I also have an external HDD that I'll use for storage. The main computer question I have is what kind of sound card would I need? I have been looking at twe...

I figure if I spend no less than $150 per component (mixer, interface, monitors at least... computer's going to cost more, mics will cost less), then I'll end up with a decent setup. My main concern now, and what I'd like yall's help with, is making sure that I don't buy incompatible components. So,...

I think I'm going to be patient, and get decent equipment piece by piece. What do you guys think of this computer and mixer?

Thanks so much for the help, dude. I'm doing a lot of research right now, and I've decided I'm going to build this setup from scratch. Computer, mixer, interface, everything. I'll definitely post my finds here before I buy them so I can get some suggestions. Check back soon! :)

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the quick and informed reply! :) Ok, so I need a PC interface, a mixing desk, and at least reverb & analog delay units. Cool. I'm wondering if there's one piece that's more important than the others? Should I go for a quality mixing desk for now, and just get a cheap interface unt...

Beginner's dub recording setup for under $500 + help

Hey guys, I've loved reggae for years, and I've gotten into dub big time in the past year or so. I've also really enjoyed recording and mixing songs as a hobby. I've always just recorded on my computer with a very cheap interface, software-arranged drums (Acoustica Beatcraft), and Adobe Audition. Wh...
