Setup for mobile recording

The best value performer in 8-10 channel FireWire interfaces is the RME FireFace 800. It has only 4 mic preamp-amps, but 6 further line inputs that will take the outputs of external boutique preamps , S/PDIF and 2 ADAT ports (16 channels) when you need to expand further. FF800s come up fairly regularly second-hand; I got one for just over £500.

What's your budget for microphones?

Building a recording studio in a trailer?

I have a dilemma. I love recording music but I am constantly moving to different houses. I was wondering if it would be worth while to maybe convert a large trailer into a home recording studio.

The dimensions of the trailer would be at least 8x24'. I would be able to tow the studio to where ever my next destination would be and leave it in the backyard.
