USA Today discovers home recording

This slightly breathless report from USA Today reveals the seedy underbelly of home recording: "By day Josh Phoenix, 25, hawks cell phones for a living. At night, he returns to his apartment with a city skyline view and transforms into the second coming of Quincy Jones." Isn't the first coming of Quincy Jones still going strong? (via Julian)


Comments:
It makes me mad when they say that you NEED a 2.8 Ghz processor, and that you can just SCRAPE BY with 512 meg of ram. People were making quality music with computers over 5 years ago, and they certainly had much more modest machines than that.
 
5 years ago?? try 20
 
All I know is that I'm gonna git me one of them newfangled computers and start gettin' my Quincy on!
 
budget for speakers - $30-$80.

"Tips: A decent pair of active monitor speakers, with built-in amplifiers, will help you assess what your mix will sound like when played back on a CD player or car stereo."

Please can someone tell me where I can buy a decent pair of active monitors for this price?
