MattC Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Let's not let this turn into a "best of" convention, but still: what's the best compromise for qulity, bit depth, number of simult. analog inputs, and price for recording live tracks? ...think funky thoughts...

D. Gauss Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 <> alesis hd24 is how i do it. either record to the hd24 and ftp it over to the PC or just use the HD24 converters as a front end via lightpipe into dakota card and software of choice... but there are many many other ways to do the same thing... -d. gauss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not Cereal Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 i really like the motu stuff. in a different time and situation, i would have went with performer instead of aslihad. motu didnt have much out that i could afford/use in 1998. now is a different story. dp3 is way cool from what i have seen. dp2.7 is a royal PITA!

FrankieP Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 [quote]Originally posted by Hippie: [b]...or my trusty, older than the hills, 'Card-D Deluxe' Matt[/b][/quote]I loved them DAL cards! My first audio PC had a DAL Card D+ ISA soundcard and I always loved the quality. Hmmm..., maybe I should dust off the ole W95 beast and see if it is indeed more warmer than my current Hammerfall card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offramp Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Until the FW I/O interface arrives, I'm still hacking with a Mackie 1402vlzpro into the 1/8" mini on the Powerbook.

Alndln Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Although I use RME(Digi 96/8PST) on another machine,I'm finding M-Audio not only sounds great,but easily have the best drivers(WDM/ASIO) so far,as far as Windows is concerned anyway.You wont beat the value of the Delta 1010 for price performance ratio.

I've heard good things about the Audiophile 2496, but how does it compare to the Delta-44 (bastard stepchild of the Delta-1010, I presume)? Anyone?

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 TASCAM US-428, via USB straight into the little iMac. Four analog audio inputs simultaneously (though I almost always only use one or two at once with my personal productions, and I don't record live drums at my place). As far as my company's gear is concerned, I'd rather do it with a DM-24 like AlanThomas above, and not have to re-patch as much as I do. Maybe Santa will bring one, though I doubt it...I've been a bad boy this year. :( :cool: - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
