Computer

I connect my mixing board to my computer through a MOTU 24i core system, 24 bit 48khz A/D conversion. It has 24 inputs and 2 main outputs. Use a Dell Dimension 8100 with 1.4 GHz and a 60 gig hard drive, 256 MB RAM. Both are networked through the house so once I record I can send it to mix on a custom Pentium III 450 that has 17 gigs, which is in my den.

Cool Edit Pro, Cubase SX, Sound Forge, Pro Tools FREE, T-Racks Mastering Software, Cakewalk 9
