Members tremendo Posted August 29, 2004 Members Share Posted August 29, 2004 Originally posted by xonik I'm broke but don't want to go toooooo crappy. That might be tough... How many tracks do you want to able to record live at the same time? Purpose of the recordings? Is it to make a CD, demo, or just for the band's presonal use?

Members Unalaska Posted August 29, 2004 Members Share Posted August 29, 2004 Definitly NOT the AW4416. All in one recorders are a PITA to work with and you will run into compatability issues down the road. I'd say Digi002 but you'll have to add a few 8 channel pres. I'd look at the Motu stuff, there's one that will do 24I/O at 24bit/48k resolution. That with a mac or PC and you're set. The software is up to you. You can only use protools with the digi hardware so keep that in mind. Protools is getting better about importing files but not entire sessions from another platform. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mick LoMauro Posted August 29, 2004 Members Share Posted August 29, 2004 Just did this last night.Recordist rented a splitter snake (split between FOH and Rec rig)His rig was a Mac G4 running logic and he used a pair of MOTU 896's for 16 inputs. I have a heard a few of the recordings and they come out amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RickJ Posted August 30, 2004 Members Share Posted August 30, 2004 Originally posted by Mick LoMauro Recordist rented a splitter snake (split between FOH and Rec rig) VERY important! With transformer-balanced preferred so the grounds can be lifted if necessary. You don't want phantom power from the PA hitting your rig, and you don't want to cause problems with the FOH sound either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mick LoMauro Posted August 30, 2004 Members Share Posted August 30, 2004 True I forgot to mention it was a transformered split snake.If not then Only the recording rig should supply the phantom power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
