Hey! I am getting more and more into recording and am wondering what everyone on here would recommend as a priority for my next equipment purchase. I really dont know what I should get, but here is the equipment I do have already:

Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire Mixer www.alesis.com/product.php?id=94
M-Audio Mobile Pre USB
Audix i5 Mic service.bfast.com/bfast/c...mp;bfmtype=gear
Nady DMK-7 Mic Kit service.bfast.com/bfast/c...mp;bfmtype=gear
Marshall MXL 990 Mic service.bfast.com/bfast/c...mp;bfmtype=gear
I am running Sonar PE 3 and 5 as my software.

In past recordings I have mic'd everything through the Alesis (guitars and bass included as rough takes) to get the drums as good as i could. Then once those are satisfactory, Ill revert to the Mobile pre USB for guitars, bass, and vocals. I know I am far off from having some super quality recordings, but what piece(s) of gear would you recommend that I invest in?

Some sample stuff I have recorded:

www.myspace.com/uptheante (all 4 of these songs)

www.myspace.com/abreathb4theplunge (both of these songs)

www.myspace.com/drawnablank (last song. "Typical Day. NOTE: This is the only song of all the samples with vocals)


Looking forward to your advice, as I have gotten quite a bit of help here before. Thanks in advance!

i'd let your needs lead you to your next purchase....i used to put together a 'dream list' of gear that i was gonna get, but learned pretty quickly, it's best to buy something that you whish you had while recording....ever say 'damn, if only i had _____"? that should tell ya what to buy next...if you're not sayin' it, stow the money away until you catch yourself sayin' it.
