New ‘Entry Rig’ System Design

    In the last audio installment, the only explaination was that you noted there was confusion regarding the old rig. The Alesis had a stereo recorder and some people assumed it was a four-track recorder. I’m curious if there are other reasoning for going for separate mixer and capture. It would seem that a short note on the page would have cleared that issue up.

    This isn’t to say that the recommendations aren’t subject to change over time due to changes in available products, the given reason alone didn’t seem to warrant a change.

    Besides the ‘confusion’ issue, I just feel it is time to make some changes. The Alesis is fine if you choose.

    Also, as I have stated here many times, Podcastrigs is based on my own personal insights, preferences and ideas. That mixer is old news along with some pieces included in other systems. More changes will follow.

    ** The Edirol interface is 24bit/96kHz … the Alesis is 16bit/44.1khz

    Alesis dooes have an analog mixer with multichannel firewire output. MultiMix 8 Firewire. It sends 4 mix/line, 2 stero line, and main stereo outs to the computer via FW and a stereo pair back as a monitor. Olnly issue is that it is about $400 street price.

    How do you get the PC to record the edirol, but keep the skype referenced to the mic and speaker input/outputs only?
