New user looking for recording suggestions..

Well hi!!

I just bought one of these things and figured it out pretty quick, no 
thanks to the manual. 

I'm just getting my own studio setup though. I had an XP-30 which I 
sold to finance the XL-7. I would have liked to keep it, but it 
lacked a sequencer and I had pretty much put my writing on hold until 
I got my hands on a hardware one. It's pretty simple to write my 
songs and get them straight on the XL-7, but I also want to 
eventually sequence other external gear. Have a Korg poly 800 I will 
be adding and am wondering what combinations of hardware software you 
use to record the final mix. Do you run it into a multitracker, a 
multi input sound card? record it as a mixdown into a minidisk or 
computer? 

just looking for suggestions.. thanks!!

I use the xl7 to controll a emuE5000 as well as my digitech studio 
quad.  I use a behringer quad gate to keep the noise floor down on 
the fx unit. I use the fx in line off the two sub outs off the xl7 
only.  I sum all of it into an alesis mixer.  Then off the main outs 
of the mixer i go into a beringer tube composer, it is a gate then a 
compresor-limiter-tube exciter.  I use a behringer ultra curve ex 
side chained with the compressor to make shur that things are 
compresed with out pumping and breathing.  then off of that into a 
MAudio sound card into the pc with wave lab.  Phew*

that is how i do it.  I set it up this way so i can pick up and go 
out to the club with out my head exploding each time.  takes me 
about 15 min to set up my live pa in a clup now thanks to a wack of 
soldering.

Just one more way of doing things.
