Two friends of mine, who are excellent singer/songwriters, have
started their own production company for commercial music - jingles,
etc., plus recording their own material.
They're using Cubase SX3 plus Reason right now.
They need to step up from the Emu pci card they're using to a better
interface - and I think we all agree they need to go with something
firewire.
I've explained the whole process to them - DAW's are something new in
their experience - and they agree that the modular approach is best
and will allow them to upgrade as they get more money in the company.
So, for now, they want to get the I/O interface, then add a control
surface later, and then upgrade the I/O next time, possibly to an RME.
Right now, the budget is around $400. Can anyone recommend a halfway
decent 2ch or 4ch interface in that neighborhood that will work with
their software? Since it's only the two of them, they really only
record a max of 2 tracks at a pass, so two decent pre's are all that's
really needed for now.
Thanks.
