Thank you!
Thanks to all my friends here who have chosen to respond so positively.
@ cranky > Sir, the world of comps will continue to change. My first comp was a 286 that I had purchased for nearly a Lakh in '88. Now, a lakh can take me pretty far in computation power. So why wait for things to settle down before passing on the knowledge. I request you to begin with the bare minimum, nothing flashy, and when people like have managed to make our foundation strong, can build on it.
@ sidz2bt > Thanks a lot for pitching in. Truthfully, I have never been a Mac guy as I never had the pockets deep enough, so "Apogee One" is out for me. However, your recommendation about "Focusrite Scarlet 2i2" is pretty cool for a beginner who can afford to spend 11K. Otherwise, M Audio Fast track is always an entry level choice. I have used Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 in the past and I agree with you about its performance.
@ pYe > With your outline, you have certainly taken us a little closer in that direction where my desire to get my hands dirty start kicking in. Thank you.
@ terence_fdes > Keep pitching in my friend.
Truthfully, I have been exposed to professional studios and have rubbed shoulders with a couple of well known artists and have also been in the home recording arena for a couple of years now, but I am still not as advance as you guys sound. I keep doing some VOs, mixing and mastering in my own small way, but the learning curve had been pretty steep for me. I have learned things the hard way, but even today, I have not been able to find enough foundation material, except for getting them in a piece-meal manner and then putting the pieces together through trial and error to form a complete picture.
With all of you pitching in, just see how the picture has changed. Things do look a little brighter.
Let's bring it together friends. Thanks a lot again.
