Would getting a MOTU be sufficient as my soundcard? Would I still need to get some sort of a mixer? I'm already running Cakewalk, so if I get a MOTU, would I be good to go?
Yeah, but also, the ones I'm looking at, they don't have ANY XLR ins/outs. How would I record the mics? (I wouldn't want to get a converter to degrade the tone). Also, the 896 only has XLR, so how would I connect that w/ a mixer?
Which one are you interested in... the 2408 ?
This unit is all balanced/unbalanced 1/4 in & out.
You can get one of these, which will not degrade the quality.
Yeah,motu makes some good computer interfaces but if your using a pc than you will have to buy seperate software.I wish they would include software for pc's like they do for macs.
