I’ve mostly figured out the little studio I’m building, but I’m not sure what to do for a mixer. My inclination is the Tascam US-224; but I’d like some input. As for gear, I’ll be using Sonar 2.2XL and Fruity Loops hooked up together (through Directizer right now); I’ll be using a small compliment of VST effects, and hoping to get good quality MP3s burned to disc.
As for outer gear, it’s just an electric put through the Pod XT.
Occasionally, a mic for vocals if I need a singer. Basically, the most there will be on the mixer is the Pod and a mic, plus whatever is internal in the computer, I’m guessing just the stereo outs???
From a mastering point, I want a stereo mix out of all the Fruity loops tracks and the Sonar MIDI and recorded guitar/vocal tracks, in a manner that lets me record straight to the MP3 format (yeah, I don’t know what I’m talking about with mixers…).
I am hoping if I add a MIDI mixer with software for Sonar as part of the bundle, it will take a lot of the headache away for me, and get things functioning more like a regular mixer for me. If that isn’t going to happen, then do you think I should just get a decent analog mixer?
Any input would be welcomed.
