I would route your playback to a seperate stereo channel on your mixer and use two mono channels (via inserts) from the mixer to input to the pc.

Some how your output is feeding your input. Maybe the only the right side of the drum track is coming back in.

It is very typical to not have overnight success. There are some fundamentals you have to learn first before laying the first track. The reason the software seems complicated is because it has to be. I would be more specific to a single question. Tackle one thing at a time. An audio track...

The alpha and cubase are a DAW on its own. The other two devices are also a DAW. So the answer to your question is yes. But If I were you I would use the alpha and interface your computer and use cubase. Mainly because of the advantage of plug-ins. I don't know which one would be better to...

If your guitar tone is hi gain a condenser is not a great choice. Just about any other tone is usable IMO.

Agreed with E.W. Its a good opportunity to learn how to use the grid. Figure out your BPM (beats per minute) punch that into your grid. This will make things easier to look at and easier to dial in your punch in and out points.

I use cubase but most all software has some fundamental similarities. Verify the drivers have been correctly loaded for the motu device. In Cakewalk you will have to choose the correct motu asio driver. Inputs may need to be enabled or turned on. I don't know where but most likely...

Although, i think it is cool to come up with your own formula to put a signature on your material without every song sounding the same. Song writing is ultamately freedom to express yourself. Do what you think is best and suffer the consequence.

If your looking for serious outboard effects check out the Eventide stuff. For strict reverb the yamaha REV boxes are popular. personally i use the onboard cubase reverb (software). For delay I use a boss dd-20 outboard. It has some pretty good fake analog settings. If you only have one...

Thanks for the rep!

Wow, a thread about song writing. The most important part in home recording. I can't answer your question. I know two or three scales that I couldn't even give the correct name of what they are. I am a trial and error type song writer.

A = Analog and D = Digital. So the Pod will only allow you to record audio to your computer (A/D) and thus you would have to mix audio tracks in software (Mixing in the box) The Studio will do the same but will also let you export 8 tracks simutainiously from the computer to an analog mixer or...

MUTE the other channels except the two vocal channels? Im not clear on what you are asking.

I am pretty sure the Fire Pod is A/D only and the Studio Project is A/D/A. The digital to analog conversion is good for mixing out of the box. You may not care about that now but later you may want to use this function.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. I would think the Behry wouldn't add any thing special to what you are currently doing. I have only used a GT Brick. It can also be used as a mic pre. I did use it for DI bass exclusively. It worked great. I should have never sold it.

I would only use it if you were going to mix out of the box. It doesnt sound like your doing that. It would not be useful on tracks going in the daw.

I would go with the firestudio. Looks like it has way more routing capabilities.

I would go a step further and say use a mixer with control room outputs to use to connect your monitors.

You may find a DIY schematic on it and build it yourself. I couldn't imagine it being too involved. You would just need to price all the parts and see if it is cheaper than buying one. The good thing about buying one is that you know you are getting good build quality.

I think something like this is in order. It will run on batteries. http://www.tascam.com/products/hd-p2;9,11,52,14.html
