my friend and I are starting a recording project that
will require
multiple mic inputs. my soundcard has only two xlr inputs, and I need
at least 8. I could buy a cheap mixer and and sum everything up, but
I'd like to have access to all of the channels in ardour if possible.
does anyone have any recommendations for "pro-sumer" soundcards that
have at minimum 8 xlr inputs?
I remember someone mentioning using the behringer adat ada converter +
an adat card to do this, but I can't remember how that worked or what
the other piece of hardware was.
anyway, I'll take any and all suggestions you have :)
The ones I have experience with are M-Audio Delta 10/10 and RME HDSP
Multiface II, both have 8 in/8 out analog balanced female TRS inputs,
I used them with an 8 channel snake that was XLR on one end and TRS
male on the other. The M-Audio device was pretty good, but the RME is
much better (and twice as expensive).
