Hello all,
I'm new here. I know how it goes with this type of thing.... "use the search to find previous related discussions". But I'm so clueless and confused I don't even know what to search for. I'm glad I found the site and plan to contribute, as I do have some knowledge and experience in some related areas. So, I would very much appreciate some help with this......
I play drums primarily and some guitar. I usually record a drum track and then put other stuff over it one track at a time. My setup consists of:
various dynamic mics
Samson S63 mixer amp w/ floor monitors
Semi-Ok computer w/ Windows 98SE
run of the mill regular sound card
Cakewalk home edition 2002
So, I've got all these mics run through the Samson and then I take it out of the samson through the mono 1/4" jack "preamp out" and into a adapter plug into the computer 1/8" "mic in". The quality is kind of sucky, and I have the feeling I'm using a sponge to drive a nail (or a hammer to clean the counter?) using "PA" equipment for recording. How do I split up the two stereo channels on the computer mic input (I assume it's stereo)? What would be the minimal or best bang for the buck to add to (or replace) this equipment to get stereo input/separation (priority 1) and possibly some simultaneous multi-track recording (priority 2)? HELP!
