Lets say I have a PreSonus FireStudio & DigiMax FS setup for a total of 16 mic preamp/channels.

I don't see any Line level inputs on the FireStudio.

How do I connect other outboard pre's w/ a line signal? What kind of cabling do I need?

Hi all,

I am looking for an advice for the following setup:

Obviously i am new to the whole new computer based recording scene. My first question for this forum is what is the minimum amount of ram you need in any setup? I am currently loaded with 2gb. thanks

Has anybody done any comparisons of the leading Analo Summing solutions?
Like:
Dangerous 2-bus
Mix Dream
Phonex ausdio-Nicerizer 16
Innertube 8ch
Vintage design 16

thanks

Im looking at purchasing a laptop to run Pro Tools. My school and the rest of the world uses Macs. Im not against Macs at all but a $2300 macbook pro seems pretty hard to justify.

$2300
MacBook Pro, 15-inch, 2.33GHz
• 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• 2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
• 120GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
• SuperDrive 6x (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

Looking to put together a home studio and trying to decide on a starting point (obviously there are many different directions to choose from.
I am having a difficult time deciding which way to go.

Is a standalone a good way to go...or should I be focusing on an interface for a pc based DAW,
such as PreSonus firebox or maybe a Mackie mixer with firewire card, etc.

I have a AMD 2 duel x64 3800 3 gig ram with XP Pro 64 Edition and every thing I do on it is a battle.
I have spent days in the shop with a tech trying things like more ram 550 watt power supply new drives and performance test upon performance test and ya know, I cant seem to find where the problem is.

I have recorded myself for quite a while now but am beginning to record bands. My main question was that I have two options for recording a full band all simultaneously: one is the digital board that can go directly out to my software and the other is the PCI Card route.

Hello everyone. IM really having a rough time and about to give up trying to do research cause i feel like ive seen every website there is. lol. haha.

Anybody have any tips here? Should I just go with mogami or is there something cheaper that's just as good?

Thanks.
