Will this setup let me record four tracks at once?
My band has been making some demos for friends and our website and such, and I'm having a lot of fun with home recording. I've only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the infinite mass of knowledge to be learned. Anyway, we think came up with a way we could record the drums, bass, and two guitars onto four different tracks simultaneously for pretty cheap, and need you guys to confirm that it'll work. Here's what we're thinking of doing:
1. Get a soundcard like this one. 2. Get the dmp3 preamp. 3. Mic the drums to one of our mixers, and plug the mixer into one of the line inputs of the soundcard. Then mic the bass to our other mixer, and plug that into another input on the soundcard. 4. Mic each guitar to a channel on the pre (two guitars, two channels). 5. Using assorted adapters/cables, plug each channel of the pre into a different input of the soundcard. This is where I have a question, since I've never used a pre before. Each channel has it's own line-level output, right? And it's a trs out, right? So I'm thinking for each of the pre's channels I'll plug one of these into the pre's output, then one of these into that, then run a standard RCA cable to another rca-stereo Y adapter, and plug that into the soundcard. 6. Record and edit with N-Track. So, will that let me record 4 seperate tracks simultaneously, or will it all just go to one track? Thank you so much for your time. |

yes, that will work, but for the pre amp to the soundcard, they sell cables that go from 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch. Just look around.

Awesome, thanks. I thought they might sell those, but I've never seen one before.
