I have some older vintage analog tape gear along with new computer recording gear...and I need some advice on how best to wrangle and incorporate all of the various pieces I want to use so I can record and :roll: playback some analog tracks and then run those into my DAW, then maybe mix other analog sources back again..some digital stuff and some analog stuff and be able to move between the two easily....ITB and OTB....aaaahhhhhh??!?!
I just don't know anymore!? LOL :shock: :roll:
I record mostly my own stuff and have other people over to do the same thing. This is my hobby studio, but I really want to get this stuff together
I use an RME FF800 with Cubase right now and I love it but I really don't like using a mouse and the screen. It has it's place...but when I want to make music or create some noise I really prefer fader's and pots and buttons.
I record keyboards, guitars, and use a couple of dynamic mics.
Now I know what I need is a mixing console or a control surface or I don't know maybe both....
I have thought of getting a nice older analog mixing board for routing all the analog stuff...maybe even one that would need mods or repair....I've looked at A&H, Mackie, Yamaha etc....I've thought about control surfaces MCU, C4, Euphonics etc...
I want to use the RME as my main converter in/out but thought maybe adding a mixer with ADAT into the RME would be a good way of getting the vintage stuff into the DAW and squeeze more channels out of the RME??
I know someone here will know what to do to help me with some direction....
so any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated!
Here's a list of analog stuff:
Tascam 38-8 track
Tascam 32-2 track
lots of tape...
and digital stuff:
RME FF800
Cubase 4
