It works!

OK...now I'm recording a class with a pair of overheads....we'll see how this goes!

The one thing I noticed is that even the DI on this thing sounds better than the one on the Mbox Mini in my office. strange.....
 
Last update of the night.

I was able to run a 35 minute session with no issues to record the kids class and about 20 minutes worth of the adult Fusion class the same (there was more talking so I kept shutting it off).
 
Cool, thats pretty exciting. I liked the quality of the clip you posted.
 
Thanks guys!

Now I have about a month to make the room a functional recording studio/classroom.

Anyone want to buy a Presonus Firestudio? :embarrassed:

Man, that sounds crisp and clear.

I didn't even do anything other than plug the bass and guitar into the DI and use the Sans Amp plugin for the bass and Eleven Free for the guitars. No mixing, effects or second takes. I think my tremolo bar got caught on the cable end at the end of the solo :embarrassed:

There must be a better DI in the 003 than the Mbox Mini. Sounds never come out this quick and clean in my office....

We're going to set things up to close mic a kids class on Saturday as a test. We'll see how it goes. I'm actually pretty excited...

The only bummer is that I don't have EZdrummer or GTR3 on that rig...I'll have to do something about that so that I can work on projects either in my office or back there. When I was at my buddy Scott house this weekend I saw his Demeter isolation cab in his studio...that might be a cool thing to have, too....

The preamps in the Digiracks sound great, it's hard to get a bad sound out of them. I spent last evening hooking up dedicated preamps to the aux inputs so we can just plug in when recording drums to cut scratch tracks and I also hooked up a headphone amp I bought the other day.

I'm thinking that the hardware in the Mbox (especially the cheap one that I have) is lesser quality....I'm going to have to get another batch of preamp s like another interface that I can lightpipe in or an API lunchbox eventually but I'm very happy with what I have at the moment.

I was thinking about getting more preamps but I'm really happy with the drum sounds I'm getting with four so unless I'm going to be recording an orchestra I think I'm good with what I've got. I patched an ART Tube Pac pre to use for the scratch bass and a J-station for scratch guitars and I think that is going to work just fine.

I love the idea of having everything set up and plugged in, it saves a lot of time and makes things much easier. Kinda like the philosophy of always having guitars out of the case around the house.

If I was doing home demos I wouldn't need much more either. It's a pretty complete package.

What I want to be able to do is have the drumset, bass, keyboard and guitar amps all ready to record at anytime with no setup so that recording classes or even demos are easy. We have pretty short windows of time to do things here so if I can be preset then I can pull some stuff off that no one else does around here....
