so what's the best recording device for using with GINA?

[istyle]

been recording into comp HD with gina for sometime
wasn't much pleased,think the range ias too narrow ,always do 8tracks and still the mix can't deliver as much as i want
Will adding external mixer and DAT solve this problem?
what is other choice?
Can i use just roland VS880 or 840 instead of dat and mixer?
since i have to travel between 2 houses now
it'll more suitable
thnx

Have you played with the volume control applet that came with Gina? It puts a big "G" icon in your system tray. You can increase the sensitivity of the input way past 0 dB.
And it sounds pretty good even at +5dB. I use it to adjust each source so that the loudest signal I'll be sending to Gina is around -2 - -3dB.
