    Interface suggestions?

    Ive seen some great results from it but its anyone's opinion whats shit or not. As far as i can see the tascam us1641 seems to be the best option for the price range.

    Interface suggestions?

    I was just wondering whether buying an old mac pro that has support for the current interface i can give him as you can pick them up for around £90 was cheaper than buying a new interface. The three questions i am waiting for an answer for are: 1. Was there any problems between using an old OS...

    It was just more as cheao as possible as he cant really afford one so after earning a few bucks for recording drums for other people and then upgrade. Or the other option is like i suggested earlier is getting an old mac pro and just never update it. The only question is will anything sent to...

    The alesis is firewire. As far as i know it seperates the tracks in the daw so kick on one snare on 2 etc.

    Thanks. Would the tascam us1641 be a good cheaper alternative as it says it runs with el capitan?

    Ok that seems to make a lot of sense. Would trying an older mac pro and the current alesis multimix be a good idea price wise as what ive heard out of the alesis sounds great. He is trying to record drums remotely for clients so would this older setup have any issues with stems being sent across?

    Thanks. For your $300 it costs £300 over here. I will look at it. What is the best input that you can use? As i said im an analogue guy and only use an ipad for things like this and all ive ever seen is macs in studios. My friend also has a pc so would it be best to switch over to that? As...

    I dont think he really minds i just was always told get a firewire interface when i first started looking at digital. Whats the best port to use now? Hes using a macbook pro. He wants at least 8 simeltaneous to record at the time. The budget in your neck of the woods would be around $600

    Hi. I mainly record to analogue gear so im not quite in touch with anything digital. However a friend of mine wants a good interface, ive tried lending him an alesis multimix 16 firewire but with a lot of trials it just seems to not seem to work with el capitan. So he wants at least an 8...

    Fostex D5 Suitable for Proffesional Use?

    I Was wondering as the title suggests is it usable for professional standard mixdowns? I'm just worried as it's only 16bit rather than 24 and so was wondering for anyone who was going on to get their music pressed on Vinyl, I've had good results with CD pressings but not tried it before for Vinyl.

    Ah sorry. You left out the m in the original post so I couldn't find what you meant. That is still around. Thanks for the help, though if anyone else has other suggestions please let me know.

    I also forgot to add. We have a lot of pres and front end gear so it would literally be the line inputs I need.

    Ok. Thanks. I vaguely understand that setup. The Mac mini is the latest model and the highest spec one and it seems to be very fast however I'm no expert with computers. Two questions I have, it says on the presonus website that the item is discontinued and it didn't come up in a quick ebay...

    I'm finally moving to the thought of recording with a computer something I'm fairly reluctant to do as I'm not very comfortable around them. I was looking at getting an iz radar but it's slightly out of the budget at the moment. My partner at my studio is using logic on a Mac mini however...
