Hello,
I'm buying a firepod to replace my VF160. I've decided it's kind of redundant to capture the sounds only to burn them down to a wav file on the fostex and transfer them over to my desktop for mix/master/burn. I've decided to go with the firepod straight to Audition 1.5 to make it a more even process. For right now most recordings will be live two track overhead miking of my church choir. We will have events where we use closeup miking for the choir seperate mics for the accompaniment ensembles (strings/winds for Christmas) and a pair of ambient mics in the sanctuary. I've got a pretty good idea of how things will work once it comes but had one specific question. Back in the Turtle Beach days the only practical way I had to control input volume was the windows mixer. I know the firepod has trim pad built in but is there also a software end to control levels as well? I know it can be done in "multi-track" view in Audition but I was hoping at least for the two track stuff to keep it in wav mode to capture the sound and use some sort of auxiliary piece or plug in for monitoring volumes and peaks. The visual track monitoring in Adobe leaves a lot to be desired.....
anyone?
Just purchased one from FSD Music off eBay. They were 80.00 cheaper than musiciansfriend....same waranty etc...guess they're playing a spread on the free headphone amp.
