I've got a Tascam us-1800 into my girlfriends macbook pro. I monitor with my Yamaha hs80ms. I've got a handful of mics: a couple of 57s, 58's, some mxl condensers, an e609 and a shitty CAD large diaphragm dynamic mic. I have a friend who records and we share stuff -mics, stands, DI boxes, etc. I just got a Universal Audio 710 preamp, which I am going to use for the first time tomorrow night recording some vocals for Predator. This setup, while still pretty much on the cheap end, is worlds better than what I had as of last year: Alesis Monitor One's, a low-end mackie 8 track mixer, a Portastudio 246, and an old pc running cool edit pro. All I really want now is a better vocal mic - maybe an AT 4050 - and a matched pair a small diaphragm condensers for drum overheads along with a good dual-channel preamp -- I'd like to try the FMR RNP. I don't have any money for any of that, though.
