Like many home recorders enjoying production on a budget, I have accumulated new/used equipment as I could afford it or as my needs have changed from an engineering/producing and sound quality perspective.
I am at the point where I have several workflow options and trying to determine the best workflow has me scratching my head.
Windows 8.1; PT 11.3.1; I7; 16GB Ram; SSD #1; 7200 RPM Audio Drive.
- 11R - you know the I/Os
- Roland Quad Capture USB2 - 2 Channel I/O with digital I/O
- M-Audio Firewire 410 400 (no Win8 drivers - so moot with new PC)
QUESTION #1: Use the 11R or Quad Capture form my PT main Audio Interface?
- Audient Mico 2 Channel I/O plus digital out Pre-Amp
- PreSonus Tube Pre V2
- Old Midiman Fineline rack mixer. This has 4 mic pres that can be summed at master I/O or isolated at dedicated R/L I/O outs. This mixer can be either a 10 channel stereo mixer or 20 channel mono mixer. When stereo, the 10L output to L Out; 10R to R Out. When mono, all go to L&R summed (but there are L&R pots for master out.) And, two sets of independent stereo inputs summed to one send out.
Samson C-Control monitor/signal manager.
What I am thinking is I should use the Fineline in stereo mode; route the output of the Mico/Tube Pre V2 to the input of the Fineline and use that as a the mixer. Have the out put of the Fineline go to the Line input on the 11R. Not sure I need the Quad Capture. This way I can do some stereo recording of acoustic guitar and route to separate tracks; have easy use of 11R and retain ability to embed setting on tracks; can use the other Fineline mic pres as needed and connect as needed other things to it.
I guess I was stumped on 1) incorporating Quad Capture since I have it; Is the Quad Capture a better audio I/O than the 11R.
I have the main outs of the 11R routed to the Samson control and that sends to my studio monitors, headphone or second set of reference speakers. I also send one of the Samson signals to the input of my Firewire 410 that is still connected to my old Core Duo pc and can capture.
Other gear (keyboard, drum machine, etc.) I'll route into the Fineline as well as needed.
So the "hub" is the 11R/Fineline.
Any thoughts appreciated. (Budget is not here for more gear at this time. I need to use what I have.)
