OT: Recording Interfaces

OT: Recording Interfaces

2001-10-05 by Chada, Jaish

HI Sorry, for the OT, but I need to buy a hard disk recording solution. I am
leaning towards the MOTU 24i and 1224 (or 2408)  because I have lots of
analog outputs from my synths that I want to record in realtime to my
computer. Or does anyone have other suggestions for lots of analog inputs to
be fed into a hard disk recording system or Macintosh G4?

Originally I was set on a DSP factory, but there's not enough analog inputs.
Or do I have to spend crazy money on a digital mixing board?

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew about a MOTU 2496 model? I have heard
about them, but there's nothing on their website (just a MOTU 1296) and I
haven't had a response from their sale department.

Lots of questions, so maybe you can reply with examples of setups, perhaps
even the way that YOU have set up all your synths for recording. Any help or
advice is appreciated.

Please email me off list to avoid others getting upset with OT, unless you
have something to say that other AN!x users might be interested, in this
subject.

Thanks!
-Jaish

A good source of information would be the DAW-Mac list:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daw-mac

This is a large (1100+ subscribers) list of audio pro's with a variety 
of Mac based DAW solutions.

I think you need to more clearly identify your requirements. For 
example: do you really need an Audio Inteface with a kerjillion 
simultaneous inputs (like the MOTU) or would you be better served by 
using a outboard mixer - such as a Mackie or Behringer - in combination 
with a less costly 2-In/-2-Out digital audio card and premixing from 
your subgroups.

Also, you make no mention of what audio software you use (or plan to 
use?) - Logic, Cubase, Performer, Deck, ProTools Free, etc.? There are 
many support forums for those applications - if you haven't already you 
should check in with those mailing lists/forums to see what popular 
hardware solutions work well in combination with each.

Mac G3, Echo Gina, Mackie 1202, Logic Audio Gold. I use the Mackie for 
all monitoring (recording and playback) and use the Aux sends to the 
Gina card for recording tracks down to Logic. Simple and easy - 
sometimes I forget to flip the monitor switch but that's as tough as it 
gets ;-)
