A couple of weeks ago I received my Apogee AD-16X from mercenary. In a week or so I'll be ordering the DA-16X. I hear a lot in the forums that engineers like to record everything as unprocessed as possible so when its time to mix they'll add the compressors, EQ, effx, etc. I plan on mixing "Outside the box" by using a SPL Mixdream Summing device.

I am recording classical guitar and violin in my home with a decent room. I have a budget of $4000 and need to get mics, pres and converters. I know that's near nothing to put a setup together, but I need to know where to put the money. I want 4 channels.
I've considered these options...
1. Focusrite 428 w/ A/D card
RME pci card

HI WELL JUST ASKING FOR SOME INFO ... ON GOOD GEAR FOR A GOOD QUALITY SOUND PRODUCTIONS SUCH AS INTROS ... I HAVE A M-AUDIO SOUND CARD - DELTA 44 .. A Shure SM58 MIC. AND SOUND FORGE. ADOBE AUDITION. .WAVELAB...SOFTWARES PLUS 1,000 DIRECT-X SOUND EFFECTS PLUGINS

I have a portable recording business and just had my insurance company tell me that they cannot insure my equipment. If I used a studio and all my stuff was to stay in there then they could write it. Since I am mobile they cannot. Anyone ever have this problem or know of companies that specialize in this part of our industry?

I have in a rack: Manley Massive Passive, Vari Mu, Avalon 747, and Crane Song HEDD. In my computer I have Samplitude Mastering 6.0. I have the MOTU 828mkII with firewire to get out of my comp. Genelec 1032 monitors. Lexicon 300 L reverb. Alesis Masterlink for burning.

Can I set this up to do some mastering? If so how?

Thanks,

Hi guys, hope you can help me with this one. I am posting this same psot on different forums so bare with me.

opinions about the budget gear i can only afford. ive got about 250 dollars for a rack unit or whatever that can split monitor 1.4 inch outs from my pa and power three headphones for my three players. ive looked at Behringer cause its cheap.

Hey guys, and gals...

Well, like so many I have limited funds and ideas to the moon. Here is what I have and here is what I want to do. Any input on good methods and item recommendation would be great.
