Hello all. I've been lurking for a while and I really admire the community you've built here. I decided to start looking for a solution to my problem and in the process get involved with a community where I can post some challenges, and help others with theirs. I hope to make a new home here as I learn some great recording ideas in the coming years. Thanks for having me.
I'll try to be quick & succint as I appreciate your feedback...
Background:
-I need more channels and have hit the limits of the 16 my Alesis MultiMix 16 Firewire can provide.
-My band is recording to Cubase SX3 under XP Pro with Service Pack 2. I keep my machines lean, mean and always fully patched.
-I have built a pretty beefy machine with eSATA drives to hold all data. The base hard drive is a 10,000 RPM Raptor. The system should be able to accomodate ideas & specs for any solution besides Mac.
-The MultiMix so far has done an awesome job at that which I've needed it to do. I sometimes get a short, high-pitched static burst on the guitar channels (but will save this for another day
-I have a limited budget ($400 max) and desire to keep using my MultiMix 16.
-I understand I could scrap the system and get 3 firepods... I also understand I could buy stuff and return it if it doesn't work. These aren't so much ideal to my goals or budget =)
Goal:
-I'd like to double the amount of inputs I am able to get into the computer (to 28-32 or whatever I can get!)
-No one, including Alesis/Steinberg/Sweetwater/Guitar Center are able to tell me without question if I can successfully daisy chain MultiMix 16's through firewire and utilize more than 1 mixer
-The Alesis website says you cannot BUT I have found multiple product pages that say you can (just google "multmix +chain").
Questions:
-Can anyone tell me, in a definite way, if I would have success daisy-chaining two MultiMixes together?
-Could I get another brand (Mackie, etc...) firewire mixer and use it with my MultiMix?
-Help! =)
Looking forward to being part of the community. Thank for having me =)
