The R16 is probably more cost effective for your situation unless you want the drum machine capabilities of the R24. The cool thing about the R16 is it will double as an audio interface as well..so on down the line, no need to pick up an interface to start out with.:cool:
I don't know what monitors you are using, but corner loading them may be asking for problems with exaggerated bass response.
I have a similar size room that I built by taking a small closet in my game room upstairs and building it out into the attic. I was able to use the pitch of the roof line...
It's a tool, that's all. It can be used horribly...like using an acetylene torch to solder with.
I've had one and, in spite of the naysayers, it can be handy. I used to do a fair amount of work in other studios back in the 90's. I would travel with a 4 rack space skb case. In it was an old...
On the surface it seems fine...there's very little info at that link tho. No specs on the HD, no specs on memory.
Almost any contemporary laptop will function just fine...it's when you get into hosting VST's that your CPU and RAM become especially critical.
And no, you would not want to plug...
Or you could look at the ZOOM R 16 which has 8 XLR-1/4" combo inputs. It'll handle 8 mics or 8 1/4" cables or any combo of same. It also functions as a control surface for most DAW's, which is pretty cool. It's also USB, and functions as a portable recorder that can record 8 tracks onto a SD...
Reworked my studio space over Thanksgiving. New furniture let me add some space to my little room.
I built this room on the second floor. It was originally a closet that I expanded into the attic for a bit more room.
These are the only pics I have right now...kinda dark.
Hmmm. Let me see if I'm following you.....you're going to use the interface to record on your comp and then return the audio back to your mixer on individual channels. Correct?
Why? You'll likely be mixing in the DAW software on your computer, so what's the purpose of returning the channels...
Yes, you will need an interface. Soundcards are notoriously bad for recording purposes. That little Tascam will work just fine and is probably the bare minimum you can get by with. It will replace your soundcard, so once you install it, you'll probably want to disable your onboard card. It...
