What I am trying to do:
a)Record a full band, need 10 mic inputs + a few instrument inputs.
b)Be able to provide easy setup solution for guitar, bass and voice to go through monitors for quick rehearsals/jams with band.
What I currently have:
Software: Logic Pro
Audio Interface: Presonus Firepod that I am getting rid of via Ebay soon.
My dilema/options:
-One of my options would be to get a Mackie Onyx 1640i , which would provide me with a 16 mic input firewire audio interface for recording, as well as provide me with Aux outs to send to the PA speakers when rehearsing.
-As far as I understand setting up an appropriate flow path for what I want to do, I could also get two MOTU 8 pre (or 2 Presonus Firestudios) daisy chained together for 16 mic inputs for recording, and buy a seperate, cheap analog mixer for the band to plug into the PA. This would be the cheaper route I guess.
I am curious to see what everyone thinks about these two options, if they are viable options and if there may be other options I did not consider..How would YOU do it.
