Hello friends-
I've had my Yamaha AW16G for a year now, and this site has been so valuable to me! I feel that I've conquered a lot of technology this last year. As I begin a new adventure, a few questions...
I am buying a brand new MBox with Protools LE and keeping my G. I want to use the G in my main music room to record acoustic drumset parts.
I then want to export those digitally recorded tracks to Protools located in my "control" room via wav files on cdr, so...
1) What is the best way to do this (best sound quality)? I don't need to worry about transfering any G effects, etc. I will use protools plugins for that...just looking for the best way to export raw drum sounds that I've recorded with my G.
2) The G is 16 bit, protools is 24 or 16 bits. Will the exported drum tracks be at 16? I am lost in these transfers and what they mean.
3) With the 5-6 tracks of G recorded drums now in protools, I will overdub bass, guitar, etc, using the MBox's 2 inputs in 24 bit/16bit. Sounds easy? Am I missing something?
Any other insights? I have searched through the archives and haven't really seen answers to these exact questions. Thanks for your help.
I really enjoy using the G alot. The preamps and recording features are very good. That is why I want to do it this way and jump into protools at minimal expense (less than $500). I think that I can use the best of the G and protools effectivley together. In a few years, I can always upgrade to whats available.
