I haven't decided what to go for yet, and I just figured it gon' take even longer time to save up because my rent is going up 170 dollars each month this semester. I figured that out today. Thats a big ass downer.

But yeh, I make records. I produce, then rap over them, and mix them in my bedroom. No possible way to afford studio time, lol.


You got this :) whatever you do get, in this case will have more value then a person with a huge full of 3 storys of gear could understand. Plus you'll learn stuff that "engineers" who go to school for 4-8 years doing audio would ever understand. Working with what you have, doing the best with what you have, not mourning what you have not.

Yeah, I've learned so much stuff by mixing myself. The only problem is that I don't have any person that really knows music to listen to my mixes, and someone that could actually give real feedback on my beats and rapping from a perspective with experience, rather than close friends that don't have any other answer than "that sounded good". I get that answer even when I know the mix ain't right, I've even got it when most of the tracks are raw, they can't tell the difference, lol.

But yeah, when you always broke, with no money (those extra 170 dollars are really gonna kill me), you really learn to appreciate what you have and just don't care about what you don't have. Learn that b*tch in and out, and suddenly you married to it, haha.

Yeah you need real critique it sounds like. I'm sure there's people on here who could help with that. That's one of the great things about these forums.
