Hey guys!
I'm new here and had a question. Sorry in advance if this is posted somewhere else but my schedule is tight right now and I didn't have time to check the threads. I'm looking to do a true solo project in the near future where I play everything. One track at a time obviously. I plan to record guitar, bass, drumkit, vocals, synth keyboard, and hand percussion. The thought of recording drums is what bought me to this question. I've been looking at Focusrite's Scarlett audio interfaces. I was looking at the 18i20 2nd generation. It has eight external inputs(XLR) that I could track my whole kit with. I wondered if I could just use a mixer with as many inputs and run the kit mics into that and output to a smaller, two input interface like the 2i4 since it would only be me doing everything one track at a time. I would think you could tweak, post recording, on each individual drum with the eight input interface. Are there other advantages? Has anyone had experience with Focusrite Scarlett Products? Any other helpful thoughts? Thanks in advance!
