OK - Here's my setup... I have a Mackie 24x4 which limits me to mix to the 4 busses... I have a Fostex FD-8 which limits me to record 2 channels at a time... I am thinking about DAW recording/mixing because I would like to record a live drum kit on 6 channels... If I byte the bullet and purchase a soundcard & assoc. software, then where does my FD-8 fit in? I do like the preamps on the Mackie so that seems to still fit... Could I do this scenerio?
Use Mackie to FD-8 to record 2 drum tracks while sending 4 more from Mackie to a 4 input sound card... Then transfer the 2 channels from the FD-8 to the DAW for editing/mastering? (Saves me some $ from getting an 8-input card)
Thanks
