I could really use some advice on choosing equipment. I have a custom built PC and I want to be able to switch back and forth between music production (recording), DJ (both live and recording) and listening to music with as much quality as possible. In other words switchable between flat and non-flat. Where I am especially lost is the USB Audio Interface and DAC. I really wish there was a piece of equipment that will do both and does not cost a fortune! Here is some of the equipment I am considering and please feel free to make any suggestions but I need affordable but still very good stuff to get started! I have been a DJ on and off for many years but this will be my first attempt at computer DJ-ing and very little experience with music production.
MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK (motherboard with built-in Wolfson DAC) - leary of USB and UEFI issues
PreSonus Eris E8 Active Studio Monitors
Ultimate Support MS-80B Studio Monitor Stands
Pioneer Pro DDJ-SR
Shure SM58S Vocal Microphone - live
Rode NT1A Vocal Condenser Microphone - studio
Akai MPC STUDIO Music Production Controller
Akai Professional MPK225 MIDI Controller
Sennheiser HD8 DJ Headphones
Audio Technica ATH-M50
Here is where I am confused with what to do:
PreSonus Monitor Station V2
PreSonus | Monitor Station V2
Alto Professional ZMX122FX 8-Channel Mixer
Alto Professional - ZMX Series > ZMX122FX
TEAC UD-H01-B DAC
UD-H01 | TEAC
Roland Quad-Capture Audio Interface
QUAD-CAPTURE: USB 2.0 Audio Interface | Roland U.S.
Any good advice will be sincerely appreciated! I know I should not need all 4 (directly above with links) but I just want as many options and mic pre-amps as possible. I know Pioneer has some studio monitors that are switchable but my plans were to eventually upgrade to Yamaha HS8's and then Adam or Focal later on. Possibly a Yamaha MIDI/keyboard later also.
