I'm looking into building my home studio and I'm looking to get something along the lines of an 8 to 12 channel USB mixer and from what I've seen some USB mixers only end up have two output tracks. I'm looking to have an equal amount of output tracks running through the USB as going in, if that makes sense. Any ideas?

I recently installed Pro Tools 9 on my Mac. I've been using Logic 9, but felt the need to give Pro Tools a shot. My interface is an E-MU 0404 USB and I've never had any problems with it in Logic. When I was setting up PT, I went to the Hardware Setup page and under "Peripherals" my E-MU was not there.

Hi everyone,

I live in an apartment and need a solution to the following problems: 1. I cannot turn my amp up to the point where I feel I am getting the full tone without being too loud and 2. I want to be able to digitally record to my laptop.

Hello, newby here...

I use a PreSonus Firestudio. I want to record a direct signal from an electric guitar, but also the live (tube)amp sound mic'd up. I don't have a DI or anything, so I've been trying stuff out. I like to record the raw clean sound, so i can always add a digital amp, or send it back to an amp, and re-record it with different settings.

hey forum, i just invested in a mac, and I'm loving the computer but I'm not sure how to go about a recording interface with it. ive done work for a long time doing "off the soundcard" recordings and working with adobe audition, but its about time to start doing some better quality work, I'm studying theatre and sound design is my focus so eventually this kind of thing will become a career.

Hi:
I need an affordable Midi Interface for my Studiologic midi keyboard. I want something that works with my PC. Don't like M-Audio, because their support sucks. And I want some good latency. Is USB too slow for Midi interfacing?

I need a usb inteface with the following characteristics:

- usb 2.0
- at least one line input (if stereo, better, for synths) with hi-z
- at least one mic input (if it has phantom, and is xlr, better, for a condenser mic)
- a stereo output so as to route all audio when playing live to the FOH console
- it has to be low-budget (I'm in Argentina!)

I am setting up a home studio and am not sure of a good interface to use between my instruments and my computer. I will be getting a new home desktop PC just for the studio at a later date and am not worried about that yet. I want a nice interface that can help me by remembering setting of all types for the tracks I work on, etc.

so my crappy firepod finally bit the dust so i'm in the new market for a recording interface. I run logic pro 9 on my macbook pro and record mostly garage rock and jazz so i need something with 8 inputs. The interfaces i was looking at where

Echo Audiofire Pre8 - $699
Mackie Blackbird - $499
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 - $399

I saw this: Behringer ADA8000 and wanted know the preamps are any good AT ALL. and also could I connect it to a interface such as M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?

Thanks!
