I know that this question gets asked all the time for this and just about every other piece of equipment. I have a Tascam TSR-8.
My typical recording setup is gonna be something like this. Basically just me and my Old-Man. So there is never gonna be more than 2 people at any time. I dont plan on wanting to do any kind of crazy routing. Really, if I could just design a mixer the way I want to use it, I would have an 8 or maybe 12 channel mixer with Direct-Ins and Outs on each channel. Maybe it would be nice to have a 4 or 8 Channel Bus "Just in case". But I really just want to be able to Arm a Channel/Track or Two to Record... Record whatever. Then switch those two Tracks from Armed to Listen or "Monitor" so I can hear what I just recorded. Then Arm another 1, 2, or 3 Tracks and overdub as I listen to what I did on the first 2 Tracks.
I know what you're gonna say. Yep, I just explained how to use a mixer to record right? Well, I just wanted to explain what my basic workflow is gonna be. And yes, it IS basic.
Here is where I get a little confused, Do some Analogue mixers have a certain amount of busses and thats the main type of mixer? And then there are other types of mixers that I think are called In-Line or Direct Out mixers? OR did I just make that up?
Thanks
