I want to have a small home studio can you guys give me some tips or start up equipment i need? currently my budget is $500 i just want to have a semi professional sound. I have with me a medium-end machine atholon 1.7ghz 512mbram. My sound card i might upgrade to like an emk11 or something, but i have a Creative sound blaster audigy 2. I have Sonar 4 producer Edition(pretty pricey, but oh well was a gift from one of those rich uncles). An fender strat, plus an epiphone les paul special 2( has a nice humbucker feel). i have a line 6 pod 2.0, plus a spider 2 112 75watt amp. Some altec lansing speakers. and top it off a nice pair of Grado sr60 headphones. So i would like some advice.


oh yeah guys ever heard of kamelot, there pretty decent for metal, beats listening to someone growling or talking about how life sucks.
