Hi Guys,
Thanks for the input on the Firebox.
New question.
Canl i record 4 tracks simultaneously
(Vocal, guitar, drum machine and bass)..... while sending the signal to a PA during a live performance??

Shouldn't be a problem - record your four tracks and send the stereo monitor outputs to the PA system. That should be all there is to it!

I've recorded a jazz band with a Motu Traveler + PowerBook G4

8 tracks recorded simultaneously at 44.1Khz/16bits.

The Traveler allowed me to make a mix for the PA, a mix for stage monitoring, and a mix for my headphones.
More > I could have done a fourth mix out to record the show onto a 2-tracks machine such as a MD or DAT.

It was a small room, so the PA was only feeded with the singer vocal(100%), a little bit of piano (40%)and bass(30%).
In the monitor, I sent only the singer vocal to the musicians that were at the back of the stage.

No feedbacks.

I have set up the recording levels independantly.
Every mixes do NOT affect the recording levels.

Is the Firebox able to provide such things?
