First off I'd like to say that after stumbling accross this stie today it has been a wealth of information.
I'm currently running CEP with an AMD K6 II 500 and 64M of Ram (PC100), a 6.4G Quantum Bigfoot IDE drive and (don't slay me) an old SB16.
I've been using Fruty Loops for drums and exporting each track in seperately to CEP, then adding bass, Guitars & vox through a ZOOM 9050 plugged into my SB16. We use this for putting new song ideas down before booking pro studio time to record. We now want to cut studio fees out of the equation and spend on our own recording gear.
I was thinking on the WavPro 8/24 from Gadgetlabs as a starting point (or something similar in the same price range), in hope of adding another card later. As far as desks go I really don't have a clue but guess it should have seperate tape send/returns for each channel, probably 16 channels and preferably 2nd hand to match our budget. I also need monitors (and power amp?) as current monitoring goes out the SB16 to an old Aiwa stacking system.
If anyone can offer ANY advice before we go splashing out some serious money I'd be very gratefull.
Thanks in advance,
ALEC....RALLY
