I'm just starting to explore digital recording and editing using my pc; I've been doing 8 track analog recording/mixing in the past. Been experimenting lately with a Live Plat sound card and cakewalk and a cubase demo and interested in the possibilities for editing and having a lot more available tracks.
I like the tape sound I'm getting for our band, and I want to record 8 tracks from my deck into 8 tracks in the pc and then be able add additional overdub tracks one track at a time into the pc.(I also want to learn about recording 8 tracks-drums, bass, guitar mics DIRECTLY into the pc eventually and retire my tape deck).
I would then like to mix all 16-20 channels down to a 2X mix digitally, adding reverb, compression...everything I'm doing now, but digitally. I'd like to have a program that provides me with an automatic board at mix-down if I can, also....
Question-I've seen 8 input sound cards that appear to be able to do this. Please recommend-what is a good quality sound card and what are the options for a good software program to get for this recording and mixing?
I'm very new to this...Thanx for your help!
