Hello,
This is my first post.
Gotta say that this is the most informative site I have come across dealing with recording, sound engineering, etc..
OK to the point.
I need to have a set up that will be able to record drums in one take, basically I will need to be able to get as many tracks to disc at once as I can.
This because I would like to be able to during mix time to be able to adjust the individual pieces of the kit.
As for the rest of the band I will not really need more than 2 recording channels may be three for different mic configuration.
I was looking at one of the 8 channel sound cards like the layla, motu, or recently the gadget something (it is alot cheaper than the rest which makes me ? it).
Next would be a mixer.
Not really sure about the mixer or how to use it properly.
I am guessing at a 16 channel mixer to give me the most flex with amount of mics used.
We have someone who has a ton of mics that we would borrow, (Which would be the most expensive part of the studio as I am coming to find).
Am I on the right track?
Conceptually I am having trouble putting it all together, like what goes where how to plug it all together.
Any suggestions on how to put it together and what brands to get would be wonderfull!!
