i graduate in december, i completely understand what you're saying. One of the reasons i got them now instead of later in my career is because i only have access to the 25% discount until i graduate. My house will be rebuilt by the time i graduate and i have more than enough money in the bank to rent it out from my mom and live for a few years without work. I plan on buying gear that is "biggest bang for its buck" and only what i need(no ssl, neve or icon).

I am more of a live sound engineer but i will not limit myself to what kind of audio engineering i do. i do have 3 well paying gigs within the next year and having a contract written through an entertainment lawyer. i will not say what they are because people will just flame this thread even more and go even more off topic to the thread topic. This industry is all about who you know, etc.

at my school if you are caught torrenting/pirating any type of plugin/daw etc.. you can be terminated.

If I were you I would have bought some nice mics. A good mic will last decades. But I dig the waves stuff too.

i would have bought guitars because i get a guitar center discount. but i dont have any room for that stuff.

Fuck that. Good mics and good acoustic treatment trump the shit outta guitars in a studio

Max is wise. :agreed:

ya but its not worth remodeling my grandparents townhouse.

^ Agreed. I just meant that for a studio mics + treatment > guitars. Though guitars are more fun

My next 3 recording-related purchases will definitely be new monitors, a nice mic pre or 2, and then a really nice condenser or two. I can make cheap guitars sound decent, but there's only so much you can do with a cheap mic and cheap pre.
