The Zooms have 2 on-board mics plus 4 XLR ports. So I run the onboards and then put a pair of mic's remote from the main unit. All mics can be controlled independently and have their own track. Later I can fool a bit with the "presence" that way. And if I get unlucky and land one pair near the...

OK-makes sense. Myself personally-it sure is nice not hauling all that mixing stuff and table around (along with my viola!). I am able to fit most of my equipment in a couple of "roll along" suitcases- Fritz

Thanks Dave. You have confirmed my understanding. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. Indeed recording in the "classical" world we have it easy compared to my jazz/rock friends. If we could only keep those darned timpani's out in the parking lot! When I get my cuts home I...

A long time ago we used mixers and equalizers with our analog systems. Recently I have been asked to record the local orchestra and chorale and I bought low cost modern equipment that was recommended by a retired professional . I use an H6N Zoom with a few extra mic's attached and that is about...

Brusko brings up an interesting question because I am going through the same thing. I thought the DAW made since I have a puter sitting here in my lap right now-but then all those times it rebooted itself came to mind (and i have a pretty industrial lap top!). I record live and can't afford a...

Hey thanks. I got used to being specific about bytes vs bits back when I worked in telecomm---often people wouldn't specify and you could be off by a factor of 8 (or 10 in the old async days). Played havoc on line usage. I guess the convention is kb=kilobits and kB=kilobytes but it gets...

Ha-don't I wish. 40 years ago they didn't have SD cards. I am trying to estimate what I need to get thru a concert-the last time we played we ran around 45 minutes straight on one work--

Can any one tell me how many bytes / track / minute are required for a digital recorder operating at 44.1kHz and 16 or 24bit? I figure about 5 Million bytes/minute/track at 16 but a am not sure about overhead etc. thanks Fritz

OK and thanks. The sales literature is a bit vague about this. The items I listed were under the category of "audio interfaces" which to me, is not a mixer. I think some of the vendors are trying to combine a mixer and audio interface but as you look at the specs, apparently some of the...

Thanks for all the input! I took a further look and see the basic options below for four XLR port / USB interfaces: Peavey PV6 USBAlesis Multimix USB Fx 8 Alesis IO4 Numark M6 Behringer Xenyx 1202FX Behringer Xenyx 1204 Peavey PV8 USB Akai Professional Yamaha MW10 Behringer Xenyx X1204 One...

I am interested in live recording and expect to use two to four XLR microcphones (an x-y pair and occasional spot mikes, boundary etc) I want to use a computer with an audio interface. I note that a large number of the available interfaces have only two XLR mic ports. It seems like the products...
