I'd be surprized if you didn't meet the minimum spec if you're running XP. One thing about the Firepod vs. Tascam is the Firepod comes eight mic pres where the Tascam only comes with four. You have the mixer so you really don't need the extra mic pres, but if you ever get rid of the mixer...

You have the connections right, but that tascam is only going to give you eight tracks simultaneously. I'm not sure what you would do to get ten tracks, though I'm pretty sure it is possible with the tascam. You'd have to get a 2 channel converter with adat or s/pdif outs. The P.A. isn't...

I have Wharfedale 8.2as that work fine for me. I haven't had any trouble with translation yet, and I can hear what's going on in the mix pretty well. I haven't used the KRKs though. The room can make a big difference. I have to tilt my head forward a little when checking the bass, but that's...

I thing the answer to your question is in this thread.

I'm guessing the roland, korg, and Isolation box are generating a source signal. If so, looks good, though I'd probably want the monitor cables coming directly from the DAW out to the monitors, depending on the sound card.

Um... you're joking right? No. This isn't true.

A Presonus Firepod is about $600USD (don't know about euros or lbs) and comes with software. The mixer you're looking at is $376 and the Delta 1010 is $200 for a total of $576. The firepod comes is only going to cost you $25 more than what you're looking at. If you can get away with only...

I usually find that anything recorded with a soundblaster sounds like there is a blanket over the speakers. It's the lack of sonic quality people around here don't like. Latency is also another issue that I had with mine and I'm guessing that many others have had the same problem with theirs...

Hooking it up ------------ Recording Chain -Plug the mic into the mixer. -Connect the direct out from the mixer to the Motu 24io -Connect the motu 24io to the computer. (The motu comes with a PCI card that you install in your computer.) PA Chain -Connect the monitors to their amps -Connect...

Oh, to use the Mackie Control, you do need a midi interface. I use this.

The Allen and Heath MixWizard 16:2 is about a grand.

If you didn't have to track the entire band at once I'd suggest differently, but I have everything below and they work pretty well for a home setup. Allen and Heath GL2400-424 Motu 24io Behringer 8CH Headphone Amp Cubase SX3 Mackie Control Wharfedale 8.2a Active Monitors...

Two MixWizard 16:2 would give you 32 channels if you don't need all 24 channels live, you could get away just using one MixWiz live. I have an Allen and Heath GL2400 424 I got for $1800 that works well. I think the preamps on the MixWizards are a little better though. But the GL2400 is pretty...

You'd be better off just placing the mics further away from the snare. It doesn't sound like different mics are going to help with the level of the snare. It sounds more like an issue of placement. Try compressing the signal with a fast attack and release to bring the cymbals up more.

You'd be much better off with an A&H MixWiz 16:2 over the Behringer. You lose eight channels and all your groups, but the sound quality is much better. Then all you need is maybe a firepod, or a delta 10/10, or some interface for you're computer. I don't entirely understand what you're trying...

I made mine out of 703 compressed fiberglass and works well. I've never used cotton though.

You might try micing the resonent head of the toms. If you have to mic the top head, find a spot up close where the head sounds at least decent. It's not always possible, but if all else fails... If the drums sound better farther way from the kit, put the mics farther away from the kit. If...

Damn!! Why do people keep posting while I'm typing!!! :mad: :D

I actually had this posted earlier but deleted it because I thought it was leading you down the wrong road, but seeing as how other people are leading you down more or less the same path, I figure I'd repost it. (Good thing I saved it in notepad first :))...

Put down some other tracks and see if the snare is still too loud. If it isn't, you're fine. If it is, bring up the rest of the drums, or bring the overheads down.
