Hello, I have Cakewalk Sonar 4 Producers Editon. I also have a 16 channel passive board. I have been recording for a while but I want to record full bands or at least be able to record the drums and have all of the drums on seperate tracks. It is a pain not being able to seperate the drums. I have researced a bit but sill am not exactly sure what I need. My questions are Do I need a soundcard like the Aardvark Aark24 or Could I go with something like the Presonus Fire Pod? Also does the firewire recognize and seperate the tracks for me or do I have to still have a soundcard? Or can either work? I know I want at least to be able to record 8 seperate tracks at the same time. I am lost on what will help me do this. Any help will be much appreciated.
