I’m considering to do my mixing on PC, instead of directly on my VF16.
My main reasons:
Recently I lost a lot of work due to harddisc failure on the vf 16.
Constant back-up on Fostex or Wav format is a drag. One song per CD-R on a SCSI Plextor writer only.
The low EQ on the fostex is lousy.
Still: I like the ‘transportability’ of the Fostex. And I will continue using it for on site recording.
(But I’ll be happy to know my data is still on a harddrive on my PC, if anything goes wrong).
On my PC I've got: SB audigy with (lightpipe)optical I/Out, SPDIF I/Out, aux stereo I/O, midi I/O.
Cubase SX 2.0 (or still to purchase Pro-Tools)
My questions:
How to transfer 16/(24) track data from the fostex vf16 to my PC?
By Wav via Plextor? By scsi via Plextor? (no compatible scsi card on my PC) By ADAT out of vf16?
What kind of (new) soundcard do I need to get all tracks simultaneously by either WAV or ADAT into my PC for mixing, EQ etc. track by track? And monitor them
What are the pro’s and con’s of mentioned formats/ways of transfer?
That was a lot of questions, I know...
Anybody want to fill in a non-too-technical musician??
Thanks!
