So I've gone and bought a whole bunch of gear.
I picked myself up a pair of brand new JBL LSR432P's for $1050 -- nearly $500 under list. They sound freaking phenomenal. To make matters better, they come with the whole room treatment mic deal, so I can quickly eliminate hugely biased mix issues.
Secondly, I got myself a nice cardioid condenser mic, a stand, pop filter, shock mount (EVAN CABALES TEW!). That has led to a few test recordings with some jazzy 5th chords on the piano, and... Jesus Christ, it feels so amazing to finally be able to listen to what I actually HEAR as I sing, and not the tinny, dynamic mic version of my voice. I swear, 90% of my insecurities just disappeared, and the ideas are flowing in like a raging river.
Lastly, I grubbed up a new TC Electronic Studio Konnekt 48 as part of a package deal for $1200 on eBay. I got myself the aforementioned mic in this deal, as well as a 250GB external drive, which is JUST what I needed. Freaking rad.
So, I am swimming in gear; both the music I listen to and create has never sounded better, and I may just be able to finally pull off the productions I've always wanted.
Oh, and I want to learn the violin, too.
I love music beyond words right now. There's got to be some way to express that ;) | |

Nice pick on the monitors. Okratron uses those in the 5.1 room and they are divine.

congrats on teh gear! i picked up a konnekt 24d not too long ago and it's really a huge jump up, especially in the a/d d/a conversion (not to mention the dsp effects and nice, clean preamps). if tc ever gets their driver issues ironed out, you'd have a hard time making a case for much else.
