All I want for Christmas is….

- Red5 RVK7 Delux Drum kit microphone set – A good variety of mics with hard cases and great price.
- Hercules GS503B – I need a replacement for my cheapo stands, Hercules are the best I’ve seen.
- Presonus DigiMax FS – 8 high quality preamps with digital and analog outs for about $85/channel. It’s superior clock will improve the sound of my 002R as well.
- Shure SM7B – A workhorse mic for vocals and guitar amps. Sounds like a combination of a dynamic and condenser.
- Presonus HP4 – I need this to add discrete headphone mixes to my setup, I’d likely get 2 of them.
This is just some of the stuff I’d like to get to build a decent mobile/studio rig so I can do some serious recording. If the Digimax FS works out, I might get rid of the 002R and go with an M-Audio ProfireLightbridge and 1-3 more DigiMaxes for up to 32 channel simultaneous recording, although it would be rare to need 32 inputs at once.
edit – ahhh, I had to rewrite this because one of my WP plugins thought I was a spammer because of all the links or something. Needless to say, that plugin is gone now.

I definitely have to agree that the digimax looks like a great investment. I’m not a fan of the particular hercules stand you have pictured, they take up so much room and offer no neck saddle. I think they’re cumbersome and far too much money for so little support.

I’ve got one of these: http://www.herculesstands.com/guitars/GS402B.html
and its the best stand I’ve got. I don’t care for their microphone stands though.
