Help out with some new equipment, please!

[sk8aholic]

Hey all,

Haven't been on here in a while because things have been good with my old setup.

Recently, I have bought a Mac Pro for video editing and with this I would also be recording some tunes.

Would love some help on setting up everything. I'm sure there are a bunch of ways to set it all up.

I'll give you a list of everything I plan on using with the new setup and maybe you guys could help me out on where to connect what/how to do it. Etc.

Equipment:

Mac Pro with Protools LE
Digidesign 002 Rack
Behringer ADA8000
Presonus HP60 Headphone Amp

I also have a Presonus Firepod, but I don't think I'll be using it all that much anymore.

Basically, It would be great if you guys could tell me how to hook up those 3 together, which ins and outs to connect to what, How to hook up Monitoring speakers.

For guitar, I would be micing an amp with an sm57 for distortion, Plugged directly for clean, doing vocals with an sm58, bass plugged directly, drums will be done with the Alesis DM5 Pro kit (4 outputs, Bass in 1, Snare in 2, everything else panned in 3 and 4).

Digidesign 002 firewire into the computer.
Adat cables from the ADA8000 out to the Digi002 Adat in to give me 8 more ins.

What is the best way to connect the HP60 headphone amp to everything?

Feel free to give tips, or anything that may help me out. It would be great to have a detailed explanation for example "guitar distortion sm57 mic into ADA8000 input 1", "Digi002 main out L and R to HP60 headphone amp Stereo In with a Y cable".

I have no idea if that is correct. haha

Thanks so much!

OK,
Headphone amp, find your headphone out on the 002, and plug a trs cable from that to the amp. If it doesn't have a headphone out (I don't mess with pro-tools), then you'll have to use your software to assign a headphone mix to some spare outputs, then go from there to your headphone amp.
Past that, just plug shit in and try it out.
It's your stuff, it's your decision to make.
