You asked specifically for a DAW recommendation, but from the way you say you want to use it, I'd highly recommend Gig Performer. Forte is no longer being developed, and I could never get my head around Cantabile. Gig Performer (GP) is great. Developed by a couple of performing musicians who...

Don't forget acoustic isolation for your amps, especially your bass amp. I put an Auralex GRAMMA v2 under my Fender Rumble 200 combo. My studio is in a bedroom-sized loft on the top floor (I have 4 half-floors built into a hill). There's an open stairwell all the way down. Decoupling my bass amp...

The 2-mic approach got me thinking. I have a Fender Rumble 200 v3 that has a 15" Eminence speaker that I was happily mic'ing with a Sennheiser e609 before switching to its DI output, which is post-everything and surprisingly good. It never occurred to me to mic its 1" compression tweeter. How...

Why not do that in the SD mixer? Something similar to this?

Here's an oldie, but goodie re calibrating studio monitors.

I have Ashampoo's Burning Studio 19. It will do everything you need. Give it the audio files from the Tascam and tell it what you want. Audio CD? Car-specific MP3 CD? No problem. It will do the MP3 conversions, as well (I never use the VBR option; I liked fixed bit rates; no compatibility...

I have purchased SONAR, Reaper and Studio One. I've previewed several others. For a beginner, I agree that Studio One is simpler in a number of ways than SONAR. I would not recommend Reaper for a beginner, unless that beginner likes/understands/nerds out on programming. Lots of good things about...

I have a very fast internet connection, and the CDN that Toontrack used served me at full speed (about 1 GB/minute). So, the largest of the downloads (54.5 GB) took about an hour to download, but over 90 frigging minutes to install. Anybody pick up the upgrade on the SSD drive? Were the install...

Good info on mics, but if you still are interested in a deesser that works well, take a look at Sybilla Pro by HoRNet Plugins. It's only 21.99€ (about $26). Sybilla Pro, multi filter de-esser vst plugin

Since no one else has mentioned the Rane HC6S, I will. Pricey, but Rane make clean (audio and power) gear. HC6S Headphone Amplifier

The 16x08 does have 16 inputs, but only 8 mic preamps. If the OP needs to record more than 8 mics, you can do that easily with 2 US-16x08 boxes. You connect one via USB to your DAW and leave the other with no USB connection. It will then default to an 8-mic preamp, with inputs 1-8 connected...
