Home Studio - Equipment

Right so here it is! The gadgets I'm considering getting for my home studio.

First things first - a mix desk. Now having little to no knowledge on what was good or what brands were well thought of I decided to go with something I would already know how to use.
I have recorded a few times with an Alesis
MultiMix desk and have found it very easy to use and set-up.
Because of budget I will only be getting a two or four channel desk, but this is all I will need for guitar/piano and a microphone.

For my midi keyboard I needed a lot of keys as opposed to a lot of sounds. I also needed the sound of the grand piano to be as authentic as possible. Ideally I wanted to find a portable piano that could be used on stage and off stage. The Yamaha NP31 Piaggero ticked all the right boxes when it came to these. It has 76 touch sensitive keys so it can mimic a piano quite well. I was a little disapointed when I read these keys were not weighted but I don't think that will be a major issue once I get used to playing on a keyboard again.
I also decided on this keyboard as it has built in speakers, these may not be enough for a gig but will create a nice sound at home when I don't want headphones.
The last point is it has that all vital Midi in-out connection. I also found a MIDI to USB converter cable, which would come in handy if my desk was full.

Finally I've saved the most important yet most difficult thing to look for online for last; the condenser microphone. Now I was not at all familiar with these microphones, I knew well enough what they are designed to do but what model/make did that best for the budget I was on was a mystery.
In the end I decided to go for the Behringer C1 Microphone. I didn't go for the USB version of this microphone as I heard it was not as good quality.
I also chose this mic as for a reasonable price I could get my pop filter and stand without going over my budget.

I will give some reviews on my equipment once I get it through the post!
I hope this helped anyone like me who may feel lost looking through tonnes of equipment for their studio!
