I've read the many discussions in this forum, but didn't find my exact situation. I'm trying to choose software for live multi-track recording using a MOTU firewire interface. I have a 1.2GB iBook w 1GB ram, 10.3.9.
I doubt I'll ever go near midi. Just want to location record multi-tracks, then mix them down. Pro Tools file compatibility a must. CPU usage light enough to allow for recording 24 tracks of 24/96 at once on my iBook. Seems like it comes down to Digital Performer vs Logic. Opinions, thoughts, tirades? Thanks |

Well, you COULD go the indepenent route (if I'm honest, you lost me when you started talking about grabbing the send half of an insert loop and building your own cables), or you could look more closely at the spec for the MOTU Traveller and see if that fits the bill. It was expressly designed to tackle the kind of situation you anticipate recording in, so it looks like a solid contender. You get four mic preamps (over the 828's 2, I think) and four line ins, so you can capture the most crucial channels via the Traveller's preamps and leave the rest to the FOH board. It's also bus-powered. The 896 has 8 preamps, of course, which might be even more suitable. No bus power option, though.
