hey- so I'm getting a new recording rig. I had some RAM peeter out on me with my current computer (which is like ten years old!) and I have no space left on the hard drives. SO!
I will be getting an interface new, or using my current old FIRE Studio Mobile after installing a firewire in the new computer.
but an intriguing option is to get an analogue mixer and use a fancy gaming sound card to install in my new computer. I don't know why but I used this set up for a long time from like 2002 to 2009. At that time I got a new computer and used the FIRE studio Mobile.
So I'm wondering, aside from the ability to track more than one thing at a time, into the computer, I see no problem with 'jerry rigging' a computer for sound. I feel like a mixer, and a good clean stereo input in a computer is very powerful in it's own way. I'm not thrilled about getting a little 2 or 4 channel interface for 300 bucks.
SO-
what do you guys think?
what would I be missing if I used a mixer/soundcard(gaming card)?
