hey guys,

i am looking at a cheap way of expanding channels on my existing Mac Book Pro / PreSonus FirePOD set up.

I am aware that i can buy another PreSonus FirePod and chain them together however... i am looking to add a cheaper alternative... and additional 4-8 Channels (12 -16 total) would do me just fine... just wondering if anyone has a similar setup?

Hey guys, I have a decent set of stereo speakers that i've had lying around the house, and I want to hook them up to my recording computer to use as reference speakers to compare mixes with headphones, monitors, and these speakers. that way I have an idea of how it would sound in a CD player or such.

Summing - In theBox or out? Any strong feelings one way or the other ?
And I'm wondering if summing at higher(than 48kz) might be benificial as it might allow for fewer rounding issues when converting back to 44.1kz as only the final sample would be affected, not each individual(pre-summed) sample .
This is making my head hurt...

Does anybody have any experience with either or better still both?

Also, are there any other options in this price range that may be better?

Thanks for your help

Okay I have my delta 1010LT sound card with my mic hooked up through the XLR plugs now the only problem is when I record it records mono not stereo apparently the sound card has two XLR plugs Mic 1 and Mic 2, Mic 1 records thru the right side Mic 2 the left dont know what the deal is is there any way I can config it to be stereo?

Yeah, I know this has been discussed before, but it hasn't helped me make up my mind. This has been at the bottom of my list. I have a Behringer unit that I paid about $30 for. Of course, it has more features than anything under $1000 but sounds bad. Still. it's not in the signal chain so I put off upgrading.

I haven't posted in a while, but I finally got a studio built.. I must say I'm proud of myself.. it's small but it's just for me :D

anyways, I'm running Tracktion 2, and a Mackie Onyx Satellite. It's firewire based, nice warm preamps.. two XLR phantom powered XLRs, but no MIDI.

Let me see if I can explain what I'm thinking. Rather than babble and try to form it as a question, I think I'll just plaster the facts of my scenario.

========================================

I have a Duet, so I'm limited to two channels (at a time).

I want to be able to record more than 2 at a time, perhaps up to 5 or 6.
