[ddots-l] Re: purchasing a board and sound card

What's your budget? If you can swing it, I would suggest any of the Motu stuff, they make sound cards, as well as interfaces that allow you to plug mics straight into a box that has a mic preamp built in, and then send digital information into your computer. Depending on what you need, the Motu 896 or any of the 424 or 2408 systems are great. It's not a board, but sometimes it's better to go that way.

Subject: [ddots-l] purchasing a board and sound card


Hello:
I am now highly considering purchasing a new sound card along with a mixing board. From my previous posts and inquiries on here as well as some other research, I was thinking of getting a delta 1010 sound card along with some sort of mackie board. Up to this point I have only been able to record with two mics at a time and have only been able to record two tracks simaltaneously while I would like to be able to record with multiple mics at the same time into multiple tracks. As I understand, the delta 1010 has 8 inputs and 8 outputs so I would be able to record 8 tracks simaltaneously with it. I am looking at various mackie boards and was curious which one you guys think would be my best choice. Also, how would I go about purchasing this stuff? I am in Ontario, Canada, but have never shopped for this stuff so am not really sure where I would go to purchase it. Perhaps someone knows of some good stores for sound cards and mixing boards or perhaps there are some places online I should buy from or maybe dancing dots sells the stuff I am looking for? I am very anxious to step forward in my recording set up, but want to make the best choices possible. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
