Hi,HRC! I play in a 17 piece jazz band and have started recording mostly as a tool to improve the group and also to produce demo's. I mostly record our live performances. I've got a fast laptop with a gig of ram and an EMU 0404 with a pair of condenser mics in a stereo configuration and have had decent results. The advantage is that it's easy to set up and once I get levels, I can play my horn and not worry about fussing with equiment. The down side is that the mix is a crapshoot based on the room and mic placement. I want to take my recordings to the next step which would be simultaneous multitracking so I can adjust the mix later. I'm using Cakewalk Home Studio 4 right now and it seems sufficient but I think I need a new interface. I've read the pertinent posts but was hoping I could get some good advice. (after all, that's why people come here, right?) I would like to lay down at least 8 tracks and I don't have a mixer with outs so I think I need pres. Would the MOTU 8pre do the job? Is there anything else I would need? I appreciate any help I can get and your patience with this really long post. Thanks.
