Hi all, keep 'em coming, this is very helpful. Acorn4, the articles you sent are great. When I've been in 'proper' studios, what's hapopening in the computer is controlled from the mixer, giving a king of 'analogue' feel. I'm comfortable with mixers from doing live sound, so I'd like to go that way if I can, rather than the stand-alone recorder. I've tried cheap versions of those, and they don't seem to do a lot more than a simple tape recorder (albeit with more tracks).
If I want to use a mixer, any recommendations? Some of the Yamahas look nice, but does it have to be digital?
Thanks again to all
Tim
