I have only been on this board for a few days and realise that although I thought I had been recording for years, I know jack shit !!

I have pentium 4 2.8 and cubase sx2

Just bought guitar pod xt

I am looking to get mixer and want to know the following if you don't mind me asking ?

I want to be able to record guitar and vocals at same time and sometimes 2 guitars and 2 vocals at same time and lay them down onto seperate tracks on Cubase. I have been using and old boss mixer to do this over last few years but I want to be able to use a mixer that whilst i am playing back tracks in cubase i can pan, fx, fade on mixer and write that back into cubase in realtime ( a bit like the cubase mixer really).

I just read another thread almost same as this and the link was for a 24 channel jobbie that probably cost 1000's

I have been looking at this, http://www.nusystems.co.uk/buy.asp?product=Alesis_MultiMix_12USB and wondered if someone can tell me if it will do the job or reccomend somthing that will do this in the £150 - £300 budget range ?

Many Thanks for reading and for all the help i have recieved so far. It seems the further I look into this the deeper it gets !!
 
Basically you want something with "inserts" on the channels. You can use the inserts as independent sends to your soundcard. And I think you'd be better off with something from the Yamaha MG series of mixers - something with at least 4 insert channels.

But, wait, there's more....

Your average stock soundcard is only gonna have 1 stereo input (that you can use to record 2 simultaneous mono tracks). So, assuming that you have a stock soundcard since you didn't mention what card you have, you also need to buy a multi-channel soundcard. M-Audio cards are quite popular, and they have a few different configurations.
 
Man that was a quick reply, thanks !

I can't believe that I sold my delta 66 only few weeks ago after a, "thats it i'm giving up computers and music" tantrum, that'll teatch me !!

looks like i'll have to get another one !

Will have a look at mixers to, thanks for reply, much appreciated.
 
Hmmm, is it a coincidence that one who would describe themselves as a complete and total smeghead would answer the question of one who goes by that name? The world may never know.....

....sorry, back to the advice... I'm only operating on 1 1/2 hours of sleep...
 
Hmmm. It's hard to pin it down. Among my favorites are "Back to Reality," "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" and "Tikka to Ride."
 
So with a Yamaha MG mixer I can Play what I have recorded in cubase and then mix on the external mixer and route it back into cubase ??

Thanks for replies

p.s Back to reality, future echoes, better than life and Me2 !!

Yes, that's pretty much how I do it.
