I presently have a 2 in/ 2 out sound card from emagic and I am looking around for an upgrade. I need an 8 in 8 out card lwith an external AD/DA converter ike the MOTU mk2/3 or the Aardvarkq10 etc etc. - the reason being, I'd like to record drums with a track per mic. (as you can imagine, trying to record drums on just two tracks is hard work)

I use the Roland 1680 hard disc recorder. I'm really considering moving to the Roland 2480..but I've been confused about the following:

I have been studying the art of recording for the past few years, I'm getting better at mixing/recording..and I read a lot about the subject.

Any one help me?
I have also posted this on the easy start forum - perhaps this is the right forum.
I have the following set up :

Hi all,

Sorry no Audiodesk forum but I thought it might be similar to DP.

I have a custom built mastering desk with the normal stuff on it plus a few extra gadgets on it like separate sum and differance controls with inserts on those also so if a mix does not have enough vox or kick or center itself I can Sum those to mono also with the sides. But I still have a 1/4inch gold patchbay. And I want to switch over to a relay patching matrix.

Hi guys,
I have a project studio, mostly rock oriented.
I work with a 2408mkII a G4/400 and Audiodesk.
I use this setup exactly liek a multitrack recorder, in fact I mix everyhting thru an analog desk.
I'm wondering if it may be of any help to switch to DP instead of AD. What DP is can offer more to me?
please help if you can.

ciao
