What gear should I use to get tracks into my computer?

I know, newbie question but heres my deal. I'm a drummer looking into offering "drum overdub" type of services. Occasionally do recording of bands, etc on site only. Currently have Soundcraft Spirit Studio 16ch board and 2 ADAT LX-20s with some other outboard gear. I bought the ADATs off EBay with less than 500 hours each and one is giving me errors and taking my tape, etc.

Easy gear that works?

I have an fw1884. I hate this thing. It's great. I have no clue how to use it. I just sent it to Tascam because I thought it was broken. They sent it right back, saying it was working fine. SO apparently, I'm doing something wrong. I can't figure this thing out very well.

I also have Cubase sx2. Cubase has never worked properly for me and doesn't play very well with the FW1884.

My mobile multitrack setup: gear and what I've learned

Hi all

I've been multitracking on my notebook for over a year now.
And seeing all the questions on this board brings back memories to when I was shopping for the right budget gear.
I got a lot of information from reading thousands of posts on this great forum and in return I would like to a add a little information myself.

Going mobile. Need help in deciding gear for powerbook.

I am a producer and even though my tracks are sometimes as many as 50, I don't record more than 4 tracks at a time (very rarely do I do 4 tracks). I record keyboards, guitars, some other solo instruments and vocals but not any instrument like a drum kit which requires more than 2 mics.

*one* piece of gear to mix through in my ITB studio

hello,

i have a decent InTheBox studio based around digital performer and a handful of, what i feel, are quality plug ings (UAD-1, Sony oxford, URS)... however, i've been talking to friends of mine about the difference in ITB bouncing down a final mix... vs. outputting the mix into a piece of analog and back into a digital recorder.
