recording

[TheElectromagnet]

Does anyone know how to record music? I am currently doing everthing in overdub by just using one mic with an adapter into the mic input on my pc soundcard. Is there any way to use an actual mixer and be able to record on the pc? I use sonar 3 producer.

Not sure if I really understand the question....but if you want to use an outboard mixer and mix a bunch of tracks into L and R inputs for your PC....the answer is yes....not sure why you would want to because you can't go back and change the mix later....but it will keep you from recording 1 track at a time.

If your question is "Can I run a bunch of mic inputs into my PC and record more than 1 stereo signal at a time" mixing them down is software...the answer is yes, but you will need a 6 channel preamp (for 3 stereo channels) with a built in DAC and a firewire or USB2 interface....as an example.

These preamps start at around $500-1000.
