Alright, this may be a dumb and/or obvious question...
I'm setting up a new iMac 800mhz with a MOTU 828 and my question is, do I need to run vocals, miked amps, drums, and such through a mixer first or can I go directly to the 828 and then to the iMac. If I should not go direct to the 828, will something like a basic Mackie board work (which we use for live performances so it would be a pain to dislodge it from the rest of the PA setup) or would preamps suffice? Thanks in advance. www.theslowtrain.com |

just a follow-up...
indeed, my 'puter is a 600mhz imac g3, so it's not as fast as the 800, and i was doing most of my stuff in 24 bit 48khz, for some reason (it all ended up at 16/44 anyway...) with the 828, the 'zero latency' idea has to do with 'cuemix plus', which is an all-hardware routing of an input (or pair of inputs) to the main outputs and headphones, so the signal doesn't have to go through the 828 to your cpu & back out again for you to hear it - it just passes straight through the 828 from input to the headphone jacks, so there's zero latency there. when you monitor in 'direct hardware playthrough' mode, you wont hear any effects on that track because the signal you monitor never makes it to audiodesk or digital performer or what have you. and you cant route more than a signal pair to the monitor outputs. good luck - sorry about my off-topicizing... dave |
