Well with 8 xlr inputs you can make make a very good live recording..And this gadget looks great to me , and very fun also
 If you need it to make some good live recordings of your band it will probably do the job very well.. Thats for the portable solution..Maybe it would be cheaper to buy a professional sound card (with 8 inputs) and take your PC downstairs and record that way..

Another way would be to buy a mixer with 8 or more XLR inputs and a recording software like Cubase and then plug the mics to the mixer and have the mixer go to your computers line in input. -Toni -------------------- Gear:

How professional do you want it to be? We bought a Zoom H2 for the band ro record rehearsals and it sounded surprisingly good! Comes loaded with mikes picking up sound from all directions.
I'll see if I can make an example sound. This post has been edited by MickeM: Dec 10 2007, 11:58 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

1000 green ones? Man, you really don`t need to spend that kind of money on a toy that will get old in two years in terms of technology that it uses. For that money you can buy 8 shure sm57\sm58 mics couple of cheap overheads and a mixer, maybe even a used vocal boxes and do a decanet work on a computer.

This was recorded with the H2 standing in the rehearsal room, just randomly placed so some time to study where it picks up sound better will make for a better result. It costed us 1995 Swedish kronor. I just cut out a couple noodling parts

I would go for something more versatile if I was you. If you got a spare PC you could get something like this:
http://www.music123.com/PreSonus-FIREPOD-S...126301.Music123 It will include Cubase SE, good studio mics and nice studiomonitors for mixing correctly to Pro quality and ofcause the very-lownoise FirePod recording interface is included: http://www.music123.com/PreSonus-FP10-Fire...368483.Music123  You can stack 3 of these if you need 24 inputs in the future. Then you got all the goodies for making a professional recording and mix CD - print ready  If you want a "direct track" machine like the Boss1600, there are other options aswell, look here for a start: http://www.music123.com/Recording-Packages...ording.Music123 Cheers Peter Edit: added a picture This post has been edited by Twibeard: Dec 11 2007, 08:40 AM --------------------  Guitar: Ibanez RG370DXCE my backup is a Fender Strat. Amps: Marshall MG and Line6 Spider III 75W combo (preferred)  Recording stuff: Cubase SX3, Logic emagic, Novation ReMote SL, M-Audio Pro Synth experiance: Roland, MoTu, Native Instrument, Spectrasonics and Steinberg Main VST's: Kontakt2, FM8, Bass station, Ezdrummer, MoTu EI, Atmosphere, Crystall |

Presonus generally produce good kit StevieRV. Check the user forums about compatibility as firewire and usb audio devices (especially if you're using a laptop) often have some issues. At a later stage you may need wordclock but I don't think that's going to be an issue for a long time. Have to say though that I think the mics and monitors in the package deal will be ok in the short term but you may outgrow them pretty quickly - the mics particularly - but still a good value package.

NO problems here. By the way, I was told that music123.com no longer sends items internationaly, so after some detective work I found an European online low-price site that delivers worldwide: http://www.playback-europe.com/presonus-fp10-22401.html (396 Euro eks. VAT) it also includes CuBase LE4 (48 tracks), 25 VST plugins and 2GB drum samples. Not bad. To compare: the prise is twice that here in Norway    Edit: some typo This post has been edited by Twibeard: Dec 14 2007, 08:16 PM -------------------- Guitar: Ibanez RG370DXCE my backup is a Fender Strat.
