Hi everybody, i'm new here. I don't want to be the annoying newbie that has tons of questions, but i've been searching a lot about these questions i have and i still can't find a solution. ok so the problem is:
I want to be able to record/edit/mix/master my own songs, with drums, guitar, bass, keys, etc.
I don't need to record them all at once, i don't mind overdubbing.
I have a decent macbook, and i'm learning to use ProTools
(I'm getting mics to record my amps and drumkit, and monitors to listen to it all)
The doubts:
I know there are a bunch of techniques, like the mixerless approach (only audio interface), i know there's the mixer + audio interface, i know there's the mixer that is an audio interface, etc etc. Wich one would be the best for me?
The ideal was if i would be able to record each track through the mixer (or whatever), edit/add effects on ProTools, but still be able to control each recorded track through the mixer while i edit/master them. Would a mixer with usb get me all that? Or is a mixer + audio interface better?
I've cheked out M Audio FastTrack Ultra and AKAI EIE pro, and on mixers i checked alesis multimix 8 and 16, and behringer xenyx 1222 usb.
What approach/gear combination should i get?
Please help, i'm really confused here!
