Gears Home studio "good or bad"

[saskesan]

Hello

I wanted to ask if the gears that i own are suffisant enough to make quality music
I make my own beats and sing on them. (so No instruments are used as guitars, drums ect...) so mainly for singing & mixing to quality.

1. Mbox mini black
2. Pro Tools 8.0+ (I got Ableton Live 5, Reason 5, FL Studio 9 aswell)
3. Oxygen 49
4. Rode NT1-A + Pop Filter + Shockmount + mix stand
5. Headphones Senheiser
6. Windows Vista 64bit - 2GB Ram (only used for music)


I'm collecting money for studio monitors, i will soon buy the Yamaha HS80.

Can i make "quality music" with these gears?? Is the Mbox a good "audio interface", most peoples told me it isnt...they told me to choose Tascam US-122, said its better...true ??

Thanks & peace

No the mbox is just as good as that tascam unit, MANY top 40 songs started with an idea and an mbox.

But yea you need good monitors but other than that you should be fine.
