more information
The purpose of the Guitar Nine Records' Home Studio Registry is to allow owners and users of home/project studios to communicate with other musicians who are doing similar projects and work.
Far from being the solitary musician locked in a spare room with a bunch of expensive toys, you will finally be able to hook up with others who have many of the same dreams and aspirations as you do.

Comments: Sound cards, sound cards, sound cards. The Guilmot is a good card ($300), and because I'm mastering to CD within the computer, I don't need a lot of in/outs. There are better ones out there for sure, but not in the same price range. I haven't quite decided on the best software to use, however in the long run it's all about what you feel most comfortable with. One final note: This studio was cheap for the quality of sound I can get. The total for the above equipment was only about $3000 (Not including the instruments).
