Hi there,
Newbe question for all of you. I am looking to record live gigs straight onto a mac. Now, I want a different mix to the sound board, so what set up do I need? I was thinking of either a Protools LE set up, then mixing on the mac with Reason, or getting something like the Tascam DM-24 to do it all and then just lumping if over to the mac. Thank comments/ideas needed! Thanks |

How many mics do you want to use? Or another question will be what's the most amount of mics you'll anticipate using in the future?
That will determine what soundcard you get? Do you want the mic pres built-in to the soundcard or are you gonna use a stand alone mic pre? |

I anticipate no more than 10 mics and 4 guitar amps. Probaby use stand alone mic preamps.

Your Tascam-24 will probably be the easiet But since you're not planning on using the pres built-into it here's some other options
with that many mic sources and if you're gonna use stand alone pres then prolly 24i/o from Motu is what you want. www.motu.com This post has been edited by SteveH: Tue 17 Jun 2003, 22:51 |
