tangucho Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It may sound silly but it is actually my situation. I would like to record rehearsal sessions in a multi track recorder, which needs to portable since I will bring it back to home where I have my iMac and MOTU Ultralite MKIII for Logic looping, effects, mixing and master. Of course it would be great if I can transfer the audio file from the multi track recorder to logic all at once in separate channels automatically. Evenmore, it would be lovely if can use it also as a control surface for mixing with logic and can be used also do directly recording to logic using my MOTU Ultralite mk3 as interface and the other equipment for mixing control. I don't know if this equipment exists but as fas as my research go I've found this two: ZOOM R24 TASCAM 2488 neo Both seem like totally different equipments. My budget is about 600-800 so these are adjusted to my budget. Is the PreSonus Studio Live 16 is what i need? do i really need to invest 1200 usd? it does look great but does not seem very portable... thank you for your help in advance.

triplets Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 First of all, how many inputs do you need? How do you plan to record the drums? Guitars and bass direct? Any vocals? The Presonus is a full blown portable 16 channel mixer and firewire interface. The other two you mentioned have less to offer obviously, thus the price.

I have MOTU Ultralite Mk 3 which can be used in stand alone mode as mixer so the number of inputs is not really an issue since I can pre-mix drums on MOTU first. MOTU is also pre-amp. But I have amp equipment so pre-amp is not an issue as long is not as bad as ZOOM 16 or 24. I need XLR input for condenser mic. 24 bit sampling is desirable. After some research I have this final candidates: Cakewalk V-Studio 100 TASCAM DP-03 TASCAM 2488 neo Boss BR-800 PreSonus StudioLive 16 (making a big big effort... I don't know if I really need it because is a lot of money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
