Right here's the deal
I've been working on getting a home studio of sorts together, I can record bass, guitar, keys no problems and vocals I'm starting to get the hang of.
The problem is drums...
What I want to be able to do is connect my five mic set up I currently have, to something that will record the five mics simultaneously but as seperate tracks. Basically when I'm editing on Cubase I want to see each mic as a seperate audio track.
I gather I need some sort of ditigal recorder or compact studio, like a Fostex?
If that is the case then I would like the cheapest one possible that can handle up to 8 tracks.
What I currently do for recording the drums is as follows:
5 mics:
2 overheads
2 on snare
1 kick
These go into an old PA head thing (as in something you'd use in a live situation for vocal mics) which then is connected to a Toneport GX, which is connected to cubase. So I end up with one track containing all 5 mic recordings. I've got a reasonably good sound, but I know if I can isolate each track then i'll be able to get a much better sound.
Any info would be a great help, but the more info the better. I've had a look on websites, but they tend to just confuse me.
Thanks very much
