New to audio interfaces here: We're looking to start recording our jam/rehearsal sessions, and start laying down separate instrument tracks sometime as well, and I'm wondering what AI we need to bridge the gap between an A&H 24 zed mixer and my laptop (using Ableton). I've got 9 channels for drums (6 contact mics and 3 condensers), 4 instruments (2 guitar, 1 bass, 1 keyboard (usually DI)), and either 1 or 2 vocal mics. Are we going to need 15-16 channels on the AI, and route each mic separately from the mixer to it? I think I'm right in assuming that just going from the main outs off the mixer to an AI and into Ableton will only give us a stereo mix of the entire board, and not each mic in a separate channel. Also, for routing, do we go mic to mixer to AI to Ableton, or some other route? I've read a little about going back and forth from AI to mixer and back again, but I only managed to confuse myself. And if we do need separate AI inputs for each mic, can we get, for example, two 8 channel interfaces and somehow chain them, as opposed to one 16 channel? Edit: The Zed 24 does have a built in USB interface but it's not multitrack capable (as far as I know). Lazlow fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Feb 10, 2014 |
