After ~30 year of recording, I am in a financial position to purchase my 'dream' setup. I am putting together my first (and only) proper digital home recording setup in my basement, I will NOT be wanting to move this out of the house to record live performances. Of course, I am getting a little nervous that I am making the right decision, since I am only going to do this one time. If you can envision a better setup (in any aspect) or anything else I should consider, please don't hesitate to sound off!
This setup will cost about $1200...I could be convinced to up the cost by a few hundred if a different setup would be that much better.
Here is the heart of the setup:
Presonus Quantum 2626
Two Behringer ADA8200s connected via ADAT
I belive this setup would allow of 24 independent simultaneous inputs....more than I will ever need at one time, but 16 will likley not be enough (I hope!). Initially, I will have to use a Macbook Pro for its thunderbolt port, but once the PC market rolls out USB4 en masse I will get a desktop PC as well. I think I may need a simple headphone system like a Behringer Powerplay Pro-8 HA8000, but that can come at a later date. I currently use Caewalk as a DAW but I think I will try the DAW that comes with the Presonus.
I am largely ignorant about digital mixing boards that might? be the main competitors to an interface/DAW.
Any and all advice will be considred and greatly appreciated!
