A MOTU 8Pre would be a fine choice. You may find a used one in your price range. I assume your mac has a firewire port? Check ebay. For tom mics, I actually prefer these $30 57 knock-offs to my actually SM57. Check em...

I'd sell the one you have and add that to you $150 budget, save up a bit more and get a real interface and mic.

so, are we recording an electronic drum set? or an acoustic drum set? If you have an electronic set, midi (which I know NOTHING about actually using) is probably a good way to go. If we're talking acoustic kit, and depending on the type of music, you'll want at minimum a kick, snare and a pair...

Protools limits your hardware to supported choices. Some (very few) softwares are Mac only or PC only. Most of the most popular choices are open to whatever equipment and operating system you prefer. As many have suggested, Reaper is a great choice and will run with any hardware and os you choose.

1) Define "limited budget" 2) do you intend to record a drum set? 3) Do you own any microphones?... what DO you have that you think might be pertinent? You've come to the right place. :)

Just realized I forgot a link... http://www.myspace.com/situationred First four songs have the ES57s on toms.

for a tom mic in that price range, you really can't go wrong. I was very skeptical just based on the speakerrepair.com website looking kind of hookey and the price tag, but I've been very happy with em. I got the three pack- its less than one SM57, lol...

Turn the treble up on your bass / amp. Great band.

Our current songs up here have the ES57s on toms. "Stab my Back" has plenty of toms. Especially at the end. Also, WhiteStrat here has the ES57s on his toms. He just finished his home studio build and posted up a sample of his drums here...

I actually use two 1010lt cards with Reaper- I have been for the last 3 years now. Works great- I do the whole band live. But, I only do live instrument recording; no midi or beats or anything. I think any decent recording app will support the multiple cards.

I've never been in a situation where i found myself wanting a mic on hi hats. Also, the ES57s make for a very usable tom mic at just about $30 each. I like my Audix i5 on snare. You'll probably want a purpose built kick mic- prices range from $40 to $250+. There are a few brands making budget...

foam = crap. Don't waste your money.

I'd try to find a place to put the B1 on the snare then you can put the 57 on the kick. Or, put the 57 on the snare and put the B1 out in front of the kick. Either way, I'd definitely give it some more space away from the drum than you would if you were using a dynamic mic. If you have em, you...

Like I said, glad you're on the up n up. The freeloaders get run off pretty quick and aren't really welcome here. I don't make the rules and I'm not one to jump on someone's case, but... just sayin, thats how it is around here.

Unless you have some REALLY nice (expensive) outboard gear I'd say you'll have more and better sounding options in the digital domain. As for how to send a track back out of the box for processing, you could assign a track (or group of tracks) to an output on your soundcard or interface, send...

^^ that. Also, it is possible to record a track to the computer, then send it out to an outboard effects unit then route it back into the computer. Thats a bit of a hassle and I know I don't have any outboard gear that makes it worth the effort... but it is possible

Seems to me he was implying you maybe had some questionable software. If you bought it legit from a studio, then good on ya. You'd be surprised how many people show up here, first post and say, "I have a mic I found in the trash and a list of software totaling many thousands of dollars"-then...

I'm sure you worked hard to put all that stuff on the walls, but this isn't a matter of just being not that great of a solution. Its actually completely useless for acoustics- actually probably worse than having nothing. AND its a huge fire hazard. I'd take that shit down tonight! The...

Well, the setup I'm describing really doesn't use the full functionality of the mixer. Really, you're grabbing the signal from right past the mic pre and putting it into the computer... so, you're skipping the eq and the actual "mixing" part of the mixer. Once you get the signal into the...

If you use the insert jacks on your mixer to get signal, then you'll want just a 1/4" TS (2 conductor, no ring) to rca. Also though, keep in mind that inputs one and 2 on the 1010lt are an XLR cable. Those channels are switchable between acting as a preamp or line level input. For those two...
