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
