Hello,
I am currently working on my home studio. Let me list what I will be using.
- Powerbook G4, 1.5GHz, 1.5G RAM
- Remote SL25
- M-Audio Trigger Finger
- Hercules DJ controller MK1
- Two Technics 1200
- Gemini Preamp Mixer
- Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 2200 (yes, I know)
So, currently I am using the Hercules as my soundcard. I am baffled by all the sound input modules available.
Here's what I want to do:
- Dj on the decks and be able to record into the Powerbook
- Use Ableton Live
- Use Traktor 3 to DJ and use the midi controllers to control. (I would like to use the decks to control Traktor sometime in the future, when the cost comes down!)
- Use a Microphone to record vocals etc into Ableton Live.
So I think I need a soundcard that has inputs for microphone and to record from the decks.
I know I also need to upgrade my amlifier and speaker system.
Any advice appreciated.
Mole

If your internal drive is not 7200rpm and you want to stream audio you'll need an external fire wire drive that is 7200rpm

Minskybabs,
although you want to rid your mixer, I would recommend that you dont or get a smaller mixer. I use a Motu 24 I/O. I bought it with the idea of not using a mixer and ended up buying one anyway because of not being able to eque my keyboards and etc. I tried to deal without it but at some point I realized how important it was to have one.

Using the Motu 24 I/O, can you record up to the 24 tracks simultaneously? I have considered getting one, but had not known of anyone personally that had one. I want to have a set-up that will at least do 12 to 16 tracks at the same time. Thanks! Allen
