Firstly I would like to say Hello!
So for an introduction. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to hardware, I'm much more comfortable in the realm of software.
A while back a friend gave me a Fostex MR-8HD multitracker and MXL 992 Condenser Mic. Im trying to use this gear in conjunction with my PC which is a HP Pavillion Elite 'HPE 500y'.
So I will explain what it is I want to do exactly, and hopefully you lovely people can point me in the right direction.
I want to use the Condenser mic to record vocals, but I dont want to record them onto the multitracker HD. I just want to use the multitracker for its phantom power, which my condenser mic needs to operate.
So ideally I want to stream the mic audio straight from the multitracker and into my PC, to be recorded using software on the PC.
Is this possible with my current gear? Do i need additional equipment? Are there any work arounds?
I would like to accomplish this task with minimal additional purchases if at all possible(Im broke as a joke).
The research I've done so far suggests to me that i may need something like the "M-Audio Fast track" and drop the MR-8HD from the equation completely. I would like to make use of what I already have though.
Tips? Suggestions? Advice? Help?
Thanks, Cheers!
