Yeh, i think thats the plan, 1 LDC and 2 SDCs (not sure what kind of yet), and the Pro 40. Reaper for a DAW. Would have made things SO much easier :)

I didn't get the Saffire yet, but i'm going to. It's just that i read so many good stuff about dedicated mic preamps (not just the Pendulum), and i wanted to know if i will be able to get the most out of one when i'll get it in the future, now i know i can. You were right, i was confusing...

double by mistake..

So bottom line, if the options are: 1. plugging the mics to the Pro 40 XLR directly. 2. plugging the mics into the Pendulum XLR and from there to the Pro 40 DI. You say i better skip the Pendulum because it wont improve anything? If thats the case, how do you get the quality of the Pendulum...

Yeh, but if i want to get something like the Pendulum in order to improve the sound quality of the pc audio interface, it wont work? because the signal is still going through interface eventually.

Hi, i wanna understand something about mic preamps. Lets take the Pendulum SPS-1 as an example. I noticed that it has 2 XLR outputs on its rear panel, and lets say that i want the signal to get to my DAW after the SPS-1, so do i plug the XLRs from the SPS-1 outputs into my audio interface XLR...

Yeh, after a LOT of reviews and threads reading, i clearly saw that the Focusrite is the favorite for most people (in this budget), i'll go for the Pro 40. One question about it though, its not so critical, but i read in one post that although it has 8 XLR inputs, you can only use 4...

Thanks, its a good tip.

Indeed.. :\

Well, this is the whole purpose of this thread, people might have good/bad opinions about any of these products.

Yeh, that looks nice, but who knows how it compares in quality to all the other ones in the list.. i'll add it to the list for people to share their thoughts.

I tried, there aren't many interfaces with 4+ mic channels in my budget anyway, so i don't know if being picky about the connection type is legitimate. The question is how do i connect it to my computer as i don't have FireWire..

I don't prefer FireWire, its just what i found.. I wont be able to check the channels, because i'll be buying it from ebay, but i'll have to just ask the seller.

In my search for an audio interface, i realized that in the future i might advance to recording both vocals, acoustic guitar with stereo mics and backing vocals at the same time (with another singer), i figured i'll already get an audio interface with 4+ mic inputes. As it's my first interface...

I'm not saying i want to use PT at all, i honestly asked the question to know if you dislike PT for what it is or for what it costs, and if you would use Reaper if they had the same price. You're right, i really don't know anything about it, and thats why i'm asking for your opinions.

Added a software recommendation request to the main post.

So you'll use Reaper and not ProTools just because its expensive, or you don't like it? The Mbox 2 is around 200$ and the ProTools 8 LE is included, so its not that bad..

Ok so what software are you recommending for the kind of music i mentioned?

Need a recommendation for an audio interface, mic, software Hi, i wanna start recording my music, and need a recommendation for some gear. I do mostly acoustic folk, soft rock, slow finger style, maybe light strumming. I doubt it says something about the gear, but i'm looking for "warmth" in my...
