Hi
I play bass and in the early noughties bought a Yamaha AW16G, 8 inputs, no USB, very happy with it, taught me a lot and I have used it heaps for making working recordings of various bands etc etc.
It is starting to irk, mainly as, being essentially hardware, it cannot easily (meaning I think it can but I haven't worked that out) remember the settings easily for a mixdown, and definitely it cannot remember the slider settings as one rides them through a mixdown. So I thought I would upgrade which means, simply - 1. Get the interface (12 inputs better than 8), 2. Make sure the thing will record onto a high capacity 3.0 USB thumb or external HDD, 3. Get the software and mixdown on my laptop. The sound quality out of the AW16G is fine, I have the mics etc etc. So the snags are, so far as I can see, making sure that I get bundled software, that I buy something secondhand that works, and that the USB link works too.
I am sure you guys can answer this in two ticks, much appreciated. Oh and I need two inputs with phantom power as the o/h mics on the drums are like that.
Thanks
