Currently getting together a mobile recording setup, so I'm looking for some recommendations...I know its not ideal having a dedicated recording space, until I do, I'm thinking of going for the live gig and quality-demo market.
SOUNDCARD: This is my main concern as I'd like a soundcard with really good A/D converters, and quality pre-amps (4 would be nice, and I may pick up an extra dedicated pre-amp later if needs be)...I may be able to spend up to 800yo-yos on this, as I feel its probably the most important part of the chain...should I just bite the bullet, throw in some extra cash and go for the digi 002? Some folks aren't mad about the digi converters...I've heard good things about MOTU...anyone?
LAPTOP: What is the most important consideration here? RAM? Processor (dual-core)? Do I need to match motherboard with soundcard?
I'll pick up an external hard drive, and arsenal of mics as I go but I just need advice on the essentials to start with...giving myself a budget of €2,500 for laptop + soundacard.
Appreciate any advice.
