MartyBRebelMC Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi I would like to use a mixer with logic so i can record multiple tracks simultaneously and mix them later..i.e. to record a fully miked up band and mix each element independantly later. Firstly is this possible and what sort of hardware would i need to do this? Hope you can help Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSix Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 [size=5][sub]You will need a multi in/out soundcard to do this...[/sub][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) i have an m-audio nrv-10 that'll do exactly that. it connects via firewire and basically is your 10-in, 10-out soundcard from then on. i use it with ableton live and steinberg nuendo. i like it - might be worth [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar07/articles/maudionrv10.htm"]checking out[/url]. tho as the review mentions it's not going to do a fully miked-up kit as well as a band.

MartyBRebelMC Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 thanks for that i will have a look... might be i can record the drums as a single track to start with then re-record them with multiple mics after a guide track is in place.

StraightSix Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You might be surprised how good the drums can sound using only three or four mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Check out the Presonus Firestudio 10. That'll record drums into Logic very nicely on any operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've been using a drum machine to provide a simple click track to record the whole band except drums. We then have plenty of inputs to record the drummer later. Alternatively, use a small mixer to 'sub-mix' the drums into one or two channels. I've not yet tried this method but have just bought a small mixer for this very purpose. I guess it's less flexible in terms of the subsequent drum mix, but I'm assuming it should be OK if enough care is taken to get a good drum kit balance in the first place.

charic Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Kick and two high quality overheads does make for a great recorded kit in a dry room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
