Does any one use the q10 in conjunction with an analog board for mixing drums, or does this unit do fine on it's own? Still thinking about purchasing it, just want to know more about it's capabilities (more than what the manual tells me anyways). Also looking at ....
M-Audio Delta 1010LT
Roland Studio Package Pro (RPC card soon to be discontinued, from what I hear).
I've read threads about these products, just looking for some more specifics.
P.S., this is my first official 'post' at HRC, and thank god for it's existence. I've been looking for this community for a while! (bless it's founders!)
Thanks.

There are a few people here that use the q10, I don't myself, but the few that do have recommended it on several occassions. I think the only trouble has been the initial configuration, but that stands true for a lot of cards...
I am an M-Audio fan myself...

May 15, 2004 06:42 pm If you need more than 8 inputs to record drums (Which I would say isn't necessary most of the time), then an analog mixer would allow you to mix down multiple channels to a couple of the Aardvark's inputs if necessary. The Aardvark has preamps on all its inputs, so you don't need a mixer or outboard preamps unless you like the sound of one better. When you record the drums you would just arm 8 tracks in your software and set them to the proper inputs and then you've got each microphone on its own track, which is great (Better than mixing down on an analog mixer to less inputs on the soundcard).
So in short, yes. It does quite fine on its own.
