    Mackie Control or Tascam Control Surface?

    I've narrowed the choice down to these 2 ( I've already eleminated the Steinberg Houston). Can anyone give me an opinion on either the Mackie Control surface or the Tascam FW1884? Fanx, Adzzz

    Funk, Groove, Jazz & Soul...

    Here's a song I recorded for a bunch of friends of mine. We had very basic tracking e.g. 4 drums mics - kik, snare and 2 o/h, band played live together, only the vocals were overdubbed later. Here 'tis: Inner City Blues Cheers, Adzzz

    MIDI drums - live/programming....

    I'm wanting to play electronic drum pads with live drum samples rather than simply programming, to get the feel of a real drummer, but I've struck a problem... I've hooked up my drum pads to my Alesisi D4 - works great - but the D4 internal sounds aren't so great, so... I connected the MIDI...

    I know the XLR inputs of my desk are the input of the mixers channel preamps. Are the 1/4" line inputs on the mixer also channel preamps?

    PC/recorder into mixer?

    preamp into preamp = BAD?

    Someone here told me that tracking into an outboard preamp=>into mixer=>into recorder is BAD (due to extra noise of going thru the mixer preamps too). Makes sense I guess. But now I'm confused....if I track direct from the outboard preamp =>into recorder, aren't I still going to go back thru...

    Mostly cheap gear, but it works...

    Here's the tune: In Vain I think it sounds fairly good, but I'm not happy with all aspects of my mix....still a bit to learn I guess ;) Some opinions from fresh ears would be nice! The gear I used: Behringer digital desk, Virtualizer Pro, Composer Pro (x 2), Ultra Gain Pro, Alesis...
