I have to slightly disagree with you here, I have a 24x8 Mackie and I just recently had 20 channels loaded with hot signals spread on 4 busses and not even a hint of headroom loss. :D In fact all the channels sounded clear, legible and maintained their sonic integrity as all 20 channels were...

Cubase offers version SE for $100, seriously that isnt expensive at all, and that version is still a powerful one to use. :rolleyes: And for the idiots who admit using illegal software isnt too bright I dont mind saying. Keep ALL illicit things you do on the super hush, hush, get it?

Pure skill can and will get you that clear and upfront sound everybody wants. :D For real you can have the most expensive studio in the whole world and it dont mean jack sh!t if you can use anything in it. And some people can get busy with only basic recording tools and make a track sound...

I am a Base user from the cradle to the grave PERIOD! :D

Assuming you are using SX. You should look into track bouncing or the audio mixdown feature.

That is pretty much a matter of taste. I never used sonar to say if its worse or not, but I presume they will both give you similar benefits in the end result. :D

I love Cubase. To me I can create a whole song from scratch. And I am somewhat fully with the end results of the stuff I make. There is no reason for me to branch out at this time. Also Cubase has powerful editing/mixing features. I recommend it fully.

If they dont have 8 inputs they cant, I only have 2 so I couldn't. lol. You are right though.

LMAO! That whole set-up is on my wishlist.

I thought about that, but I wasnt sure if you could technically get away with it. My sound card only has 2 inputs anyway so I never actually never tried it. It seems extremely messy to do (a spaghetti of cables). In light of that page you linked I guess it can be done.

^^ Yes but you cant separate them if you were to dump them into another DAW, like Cubase or Sonar. The Tascam doesnt have direct outputs for each track.

Or just save up to $500 and get Cubase SX or Sonar, :D

Very wise words I might add. :cool:

To say "choosing the best possible sound" is only an opinion! Yeah, analog gives you a warmer sound but that doesnt mean its the "best possible sound". It depends on the user at hand. I like the warm sound of analog, but I prefer and think that clarity and the pristine sound of digital is...

TRS = Tip Ring and Sleeve and TS = Tip and Sleeve. I never heard of it being called shield. TRS is a balanced cable and is similar to the XLR mic cable and TS is unbalanced. Secondly you can use the TRS cable for a mono signal. This link here will expalin all the different types of cables and...

I would have to co-sign that using digital is more flexible than analog. Digital has far more editing features and can allow you to create at a rapid rate. There are plug-ins that simulate an analog vibe now-a-days, but if you really want that true analog warmth you can always track/mix...

I cant give you any advice if you dont tell me exactly how much you can /willing to spend. How about this mic here and you can get this mic-pre here since you didnt specify a certain price. :D Good Luck!

I figured you were talking about mics. :D

Not at all dude, if he is recording lets say an MPC2000 all he has to do is plug cables from his MPC outputs directly into his sound card inputs. He would use a pre-amp if he was using microphone's not external synths or samplers like the MPC. And he would need a mixer if he has more outputs...

20K (USD) Damn! I would first build a super-super-super powerful computer, probably 3.0Ghz and 4GB RAM, Western Digital 10,000RPM 80GB SATA drive just for the OS. And then I would get an Ultra 320 SCSI disc strictly for audio. That alone would probably eat up $2500 (Including the pro sound...
