Hi ..I am looking to set up my new laptop (powerbook G4 17") to be able to record my 3 piece punk band. I will be using Logic Express.

I want to be able to record drums with bass simultaneously before adding guitar/vocals etc..so...ie. 6-8 mics on drums..and one on bass guitar recording at the same time. - possibly recording a guide vocal track also at the same time.

Hi all,
I've eagerly searched the archive but haven't really found the answers, so I'm hoping to kick off an old thread but with a particular
interest here.

Tascam FW-1082 or PreSonus Firepod
I am looking for a Digital interface with Mic preamps and firewire, that's both reasonable and good sounding (Is there such a device?)

Any thoughts on the above mentioned interfaces or other ones like them, in the same price range will greatly appreciated?

Thank you so much,

Sunflute

I wonder could anyone tell me what exactly this card is for? I took it for granted that it would allow signals to be passed to a computer, but apparently that's not the case.

I'm really curious about this!

Thanks!

Hey all,

Im looking into this Firewire device, I'm kind of stuck I dont know if I should get the Tascam 1804 or the PreSonus firepod, Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

THanks

Hello

Hey gang, I'm looking at the RME fireface and the Tascam 1884 for my new setup. I'm needing a firewire interface so that I can go from PC to Laptop.

The differences are obvious, but I was wondering if anyone can comment on the sound quality between the two?
Like how do the pres and and converters compare?

Hi!

Seeing so many people selling there used M-Audio Firewire 410 on e-bay gives me bad vibes on the product...

Does anybody have an explanation on that?

Would it be a unit that is not doing the job that the musicians are expecting from it?

Im getting more and more interested in these beauts. I was just wondering if any one here owns, has owned, has used one or who knows someone who uses one etc and if they could pass their own "2 cents" as you say.

A few questions about it :

I posted this in DAW/Computing but havnt had any responses, so i thought id try it here.

Which way would you go and why?

I want a control surface for nuendo 2 and i need a new sound card. My budget is $1500 +/-

i was also looking at the Yamaha 01x which seems impressive on paper but looks kinda scary ( i noticed they dropped the price on this about $500.)
