I've been doing multi-track recording now for going on 15 years now but it's usually been laying down a scratch track with the whole band playing and then going back and overdubbing each instrument individually and recording the drums to one track because I could not get separation for each drum on the kit.
Well I want more control over the drum mix and need a multi (8 minimum?) input device to do that. I have been having a devil of a time finding just such a piece of hardware. I'm finding a ton of multi channel OUTput devices, ostensibly for surround sound purposes, and most of the multi input boxes seem to have too few inputs (I believe 8 is the most I have seen).
I have a 24 channel mixer with DIs on every channel and a 9 piece horn band with BU vocals so the more inputs the merrier. I mean the pro studios must have a solution for this dilemma. Ideally, I'd like to be able to get 18 or 20 tracks recording simultaneousyl, but that will probably not happen on my budget.
I'm not even quite sure how to hook up a box though I guess I could figure it out without too much trouble. It just goes into any available USB 2.0 slot, right?
Do they even make internal cards that do what I'm thinking of? I guess I'm just growing obstinate in my old age and I fear change
FWIW I'm using Win10-64/4G 2.9GHz Quadcore
