I'm sure this has been asked 100s upon 100s of times, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for in reading all of the past posts. With that out of the way here we go:
I'm wanting to set up a recording stuido (home based at first, but hopefully upgrade to a professional set up in a few years) and I need to know what I need to do this. I'm going to get a Mac G4, and Digidesign Digi-001, but I don't know what else I need. Do I need an analog device (something like a 24 track reel to reel?) to record on originally, then get something like MOTU's MKII to transfer my recordings from analog to digital? Or could I bypass this with a digital mixer (maybe something like the Roland VM-7000 Series V-Mixing System?) running into my computer? Would I still need the MKII with the digital mixer?
I really just want to use Protools to mix and edit my music, so the ability to directly record into the G4 isn't that big a deal right now, but having the ability to do that wouldn't be that bad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Nails
