Hi

I need to Record 18 tracks Live to PC While Running 4 VST's and vocal effects, how does this rig sound ?

Desk:
Phonic Helix 24MKII Firewire.

PC:
Hyper 400W PSU

ASUS P5KC Motherboard

2 X 250 gig Hard Drives Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (2 fast hard drives as one for my operating system tasks and one for recording to).

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

G.Skill 4GB F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ DDR2-1000 RAM

Sound Card: Have not decided yet, what do you recommend for this ?

Texas Instruments Firewire PCI card.

Does that PC rig look up to it ?

Speakers: Have not decided yet, what do you recommend for amplying vocals and keyboards in a 7meters X 4 meters room with no sound proofing and Drums / Guitar / Bass playing at the same time ?

Power amp: Not decided yet, which would you recommend for above situation ?

METHOD:

13 recording mics into Phonic Mixer
4 inputs from midi/PC VST keyboards to Mixer
1 Vocal input to Mixer

Live Vocal Effects get processed by onboard 40bit Mixer effects

Output of Vocals/keys group from mixer to Power amp - speakers.

Recording Mics + Keys/Vocal data goes from Mixer to PC through Firewire and recorded.


Summary:
Does the gear / method sound ok ? Any Suggestions ?

Which sound card should I get for this ? (needs to be able to process the info and have 4 midi keyboards coming out)

Which Speakers to amplify vocals / keys ? (7X4 meter none soundproofed room, drums / guitar / bass playing )

Which Power amp ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Mike
