Please Help Me****"real Time Editing***

[blittedson]

i have the Audiophile soundcard (the one for 100 bucks) with A Behringer Eurorack 1604A Mixing board hooked up to a standard PC with Adobe Audition 1.5 (CEP) what would i need to buy in order to mix in "real time" I have a hard time describing this because i'm new to this but i want to be able to mix the recorded track thats in Adobe Audition with my mixing board without having to mix the signal before it gets recorded digitally. Bascially i want to assign my digitally recorded tracks to my mixing board and be able to mix them directly from the mixing board. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

so you're recording from microphone--to mixer---to soundcard---to Adobe.
And after you're done recording, you're wanting to play back the song and have the audio return to your mixer so you can mix on there, correct?

unfortunately you can't do what you want with what you have now. First of all think of mixing on your mixer being just like mixing in the software program. You'll need an open channel for each and every track you've already recorded. Secondly, you'll need enough outputs on your soundcard to send each signal out of your computer individually and into your mixer. If you have 10 drum tracks...you'll need 10 outputs to go to your board. I'm assuming since you have the "100 dollar soundcard version" you won't have enough outputs.

If you do get one that allows you to do so, and have a mixer with enough channels...all you'll need to do when you're done mixing is to re-route your main mix out of the mixer and back into your recording program to make a final stereo mix for CD.

Even if you did that though, talk about "over-conversion", I mean: thats an AD into the computer, then a DA to the mixer, then another AD for the final mix back into the computer. 3 conversions is definitely going to affect the sound.

not really. you'd be surprised how much this is done in tons of studios around the country. Many studios track into Pro Tools and mix on a nice ass analog console. You really won't notice anything, especially if you have decent converters and analog gear.
