I am in the process of adding a new Recording Studio to my new home I am building at this time. Main Studio is 24 x 24 with the Vocal Booth at 12 x 10 and the Control Room measuring 16 x 20. I believe I have a good size for a Home Studio...
The Mixing Console I have is a Carvin SL56 Studio/Live Series 56-Channel 8-Bus
I also have built a "New" Dedicated Computer for use if I need it. It is the Athlon XP2100+ with 2GB DDR-Ram, Asus A7V266-E DDR Motherboard, and (5) 80GB Harddrives just for recordings. The operating system (Windows 2000 Professional) is on its own 40GB HD. I also have the new Cakewalk Sonar XL 2.0 Software for this system...
Question #1 - What is an excellent Sound Card to use with this type of setup???
I also have the Alesis ADAT-HD24 MultiTrack Recorder and if I am not mistaken, I probably don't need it if I am using the Computer correct???
I am new to this Digital Age as all my experience over the years (30 of them) has dealt with Analog only...
Question #2 - Can I use the Alesis with the Computer System with the Mixing Console I have???
Question #3 - Will I need A/D Converters as well as D/A Converters???
May have many more questions for the gifted here in the future...
Thanks in advance for any ifo you may be able to advise on...
BTW, excellent forum. One of the best on the Internet for information in all areas...
