Hi guys & gals, I've been recording bands for a while on an AW16G but I'm looking to build myself a better set-up with the proceeds.
I'm looking to spend about £2,000 - £3,000 on a computer based recording set-up. I'm thinking probably a 16-track desk, a fast PC and a decent soundcard. I'll worry about outboard gear at a later date.
I would ideally like to be able to direct record quite a few tracks at once since alot of bands want "live" recordings nowerdays and I personally don't think 8 tracks is enough.
A few questions:
1. What would you recommend for the mixer/soundcard set-up for the budget?
2. If I get something along the lines of the Layla24 card how would I take advantage of the SPDIF and ADAT channels so I could run more that 8 tracks to and from the desk? Bare in mind that I'm a dumb newbie.
