Broadcast Studio Help

[littlemissmartypants]

The other day I asked for help selecting items for my broadcast studio.
This is what I have so far. Am I on the right track?
What else do I need? Money is no object. All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

1. Consider Sennheiser microphones

if money is no object.

2. Thanks for your suggestion. I looked at them.

They appear to primarily be used for recording musical instruments and vocal performance recording. If you could give me a more specific suggestion that would be very helpful.

4. We used the Sennheiser MD 421 in the last radio station

I worked at. I believe WLS in Chicago used the same mic when they went combo.

I also liked the Shure SM7, but the current broadcast standard is the ElectroVoice RE20.

5. Since money is no object...

Forget the i7 MacBook Pro. Spend the extra $400 for the i9 version. (I have the i9.) You get more speed, two more cores (which means it'll crunch big data sets...like, y'know, video files...faster) and twice as much SSD.

There is a product called Acoustic Foam. Get enough to cover the walls behind your camera position. This will cut down on reflected sound, which sounds like shit.

Get a "multi-effects processor" to run your audio through. Behringer makes some decent ones that aren't outrageously expensive, if you want a new one. If you don't mind used, you can get a Lexicon PCM 80 on eBay for about $500. Lexicon is top-shelf gear. Also buy an equalizer. There are "graphic" equalizers, which are broken down into preset bands - usually 10 bands - and "parametric" equalizers that let you adjust the sound much more precisely. Get the graphic kind, parametrics are too damn much work.

You need a mixer for your microphones. You also need an analog-to-digital converter aka "USB audio interface." If I was wiring this, I would stay analog until just before your computer, because digital mixers are expensive.

Set dressing is important. You'll need a table with a drape, chairs, some sort of decorations to make the place look nice, microphone stands, anti-pop screens...

And because it's me writing this...you need a dressing table with a good mirror and comfortable chair and at least one (preferably two) more LED light panels, and at least a small makeup kit. Makeup is not an option when you've got this much light in your studio. If your talent (this means men too) is not wearing any, the light will pass through the top layer of their skin and reflect off the capillaries in their face, and they'll look like they belong in a horror film. There are lots of tutorials covering how to apply it for film and video on YouTube.

6. I am not clear on why I need

Multi Effects Processor and a graphic equalizer?
