Hi philmusic peeps! Tanong ko lang, kung magsstart ng entry-level na studio, kasya na kaya yung 150k na budget?

(Monitors) M-audio BX5A -18,500
(Interface) M-audio Delta 1010 - 15,000
(Condenser Mic) Behringer C1u - 4,000
(Mixer) Behringer na may phantom power - 4,000?
(Monitor Headphones) Behringer - 1,500
Drums = 30,000
yung amp tsaka na, mag liline in nalang muna kami hihi

= 73,000

Drum mics and overhead mics -
Mic stands -
Pop filter -
Mic Preamp -

Yan lang yung alam ko, wala akong clue sa mga cables

Sa acoustics, yung isosoundproof siguro na room mga kasize ng 4 na queen size na kama. Tapos yung iroroom treatment para sa mixing room mga ganun din.

Ano pa ba yung kailangan idagdag? Thanks!

*EDIT: yung sa mic preamp*

Tingin niyo sir magkano yung mga yan dito sa Pinas, and saan maaavail? And okay lang po ba mag usb interface? Kasi sabi ng iba may onting latency pa rin kaya naisip ko mag PCI soundcard hehe

Safe mag shop sa musiciansfriend. Marami na akong items na nabili dito pero nasa US ako. What you can do, you can shop online tapos ship mo sa relative mo sa US. Padala mo na lang thru balikbayan box. Mura lang shipping.

Or get a US address thru here. Sila na bahala magpadala.

Kasya yan sa isang jumbo balikbayan box. It would be best ship mo siya sa marunong gumamit sa US para test niya agad bago padala sa Pinas.
