Members Derelict Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MultiMix8USB/ So my band's ready to record a 5 song demo and maybe 2 covers for CD's to pass out at shows and to have decent recordings on our Myspace. So, a few questions. 4 mics is enough for a drumset if we do one snare, one bass, and two overheads right? And since it's a USB interface we can assign each to a different channel in Reaper to make EQ'ing easier? Since it's USB will it give me much latency? That's my biggest problem I HATE latency. It makes life a lot more difficult when it comes to recording. I know how to adjust the buffers in Reaper to reduce latency a bit but with the USB interface will I get less? If there are any comparable 4 XLR input USB interfaces at that same price range new and used feel free to suggest them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 i didn't find with my focusrite firewire interface that in reaper i ran into much of any latency running 6 concurrent channels for live recording-- and honestly-- if you record live, it shouldn't cause you ANY problems. also- if anybody you know has a mixer-- just mic drums normally with a couple of overheads, a kick, mebbe a snare if you need it- and bus it down to two channels. then record bass and guitar alongside.

Members EdgeOfDarkness Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 about all USB interfaces will have some lat. does it have to be USB ? I just put a PCI M Audio 1010LT in my PC this morning. 10 inputs and 10 outputs , and they do not cost a arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chad_sux Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 Shouldn't have any problematic latency. I'll sell you mine for $75 shipped if you want it. It's in perfect condition. I never really used it much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Derelict Posted November 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 It doesn't have to be USB but I'm not sure if my computer has a Firewire interface and I'm hoping to use this one since it's the most powerful out of the band so minimal latency and best results.That's tempting chad_sux I'll talk to the rest of the band.We are not going to be recording live it'll be individual instruments and I'm going to do all the mixing/mastering junk. Hopefully I can pull this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
