Start my own recording studio

After months of researching and learning studio recording through online articles and other resources I’m finally ready to spend some time in a real studio. Fortunately my timing couldn’t have been better; this morning I received an e-mail offer for a two-day recording class taught by TapeOp editor Larry Crane. I managed to reserve a space for the February session :

I started reading TapeOp a few years ago as a bored musician killing time between tracks. The incredible interviews (from Jack Endino to Rudy Van Gelder) and DIY aesthetic made this magazine one of my all-time favorites.

• Digi 002R
• (2) Shure SM57s
• (1) AKG D112
• (2) Studio Precision 8 monitors
• (2) Sony MDR 7506 headphones
• (1) Presonus HP4 headphone amp
• (1) Furman PL8 power conditioner
• Various stands, cables, etc.

I’ll actually start buying in February. Phase two will be a little more interesting…
