Basically i want to start setting up a little home studio to record some music but i am wanting to future proof my purchases for what i plan on expanding this setup into.
Basically eventually i want to be able to record live music from a band and i know this means a lot of inputs.
I am planning on working inside the pc but have a couple of things i don't understand still.
The most amount of inputs i have seen on a card is 10? is this true? and if not am i going to have to sell my soul to get something bigger?
now i know i can put it through a mixer and then merger it all together into say 10 tracks but that means i will not be able to fiddle with the mix later?
how have you guys dealt with this?
I am also looking at doing this all in Linux? anyone had some experience? Ardour (i thinks thats the softwares name) is available in linux? and there are some good apps around.
I would be more comfortable doing this in linux due to the control on the pc you have and stability issues..
hope these questions aren't too newbieish but i have been looking for answers and couldn't find them.
