I play in a 5 person rock band, 2 guitarists a drummer a bassist and a keyboardist. I am looking for not only a live setup but a recording setup as well, I am a carpenter by trade while attending college so I have started building my own studio in my garage. I know everything I need BUT the recording route is a little confusing. I know I need either a digital multitrack recorder with a built in HDD or a computer based hardware config to do the job. Well I have a p4 ht 3.2 ghz proc with a sb audigy and 1.5gb ram and dual HDDs. I also have a p4 2.6 ghz laptop with 512 ram, I kinda want to be able to use the laptop as much as possible, maybe with an external hdd. So what Im asking is, What is the best hardware (Firewire or USB2.0) I can get that will allow me to record 10 tracks simultaniously and into sonar 4 without braking me totally?
Also do I need any types of preamps if I have a powered 10 channel mixer I am running all of my mics and such through? And anything else I would need to record an entire bands practice seesions? besides mics and ofcourse the basics.....
I know its a huge Q but I would really appreciate the help.
