Recently I've been dissapointed with the results when recording with my drummer. After first laying down the drums with a single Shure 58 room mic {I know.. vocal mic , we're looking into it... maybe a Shure multi pack setup ? Any suggestions? ) and then recording my guitar track, mic-ing my 4X12 Marshall cab with same mic ( instead of a Shure SM57, which I will be picking up soon ), then tried it with a Samson R11 ( crappy for that too). The result left to be desired. We then sent mics through a Behringer ub4444 xf pro and out to my sound card ( SB Audigy 1 ). Now.. with recent knowledge that I aquired from HRC , due to the fact that my mixer already has pre-amp channels , that eliminates the need for mic pre-amps, I apperently need to replace my sound card . While researching through Guitar World and Guitar One mags, I've noticed that M-Audio and E-MU came up alot. I've been eyeing the E-MU 1820 (320$ USD) or M- Audio Delta 1010LT (299.95$ USD). Does anybody have any suggestions on a recording solution that is either more effecient in conjunction with a behringer ub2222 fx pro mixer, or another recording method ? Thanks friends !

Personally, I think anything bigger than a 2 in, 2 out card would be a watse, your mixer can only send out 2 preamped channels at a time, the left and right orf a stereo signal (however, aux sends and such can work but I won't go there yet). If you wanna use a 1010 in hopes of keeping all the durms on their own tracks, you would need additional preamps...with your mixer you can preamp many mics, but they will allleave the mixxer mixed down to two channels.
I would lean toward an M-Audio 2496 or an ESI [email protected] get a multiinput sound card with preamps in it.

Oct 28, 2005 06:16 am doesnt the 2222fxpro have direct outs ?? and 2 sub groups?

By inserting a TS jack until you hear 'one click', you take the send of the insert without connceting the return, so therefore the channel still operates without the connection being broken at the insert point.
You could easily record 8 tracks with an 8 track sound card.
