I'm going to pick up my recording interface today - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I ordered a PreSonus FirePod eariler this week and the guy phoned me while I was in the shower this morning to say it's in.

It has 8 balanced inputs with microphone preamps and 8 outputs. I wanted it's bigger brother, the FireStudio, it has Class-A preamps, and can output several independent stereo mixes with zero delay, essentially an 8 bus mixer. But since I could barely afforded the FirePod as is, so no FireStudio for me.

The FirePod will do me good for right now, and they can be daisy chained together for up to 24inputs.

Just phoned the guy, he has both the FirePod and the FireStudio, but the FireStudio is 300 dollars more then the FirePod, so it's a no go for now. He said I could trade in later though, so when and if I get a job, I'll save up and trade up for the FireStudio at a small loss.

What is that thing? No, I didn't hit the link but can you tell us what it's all about and what you plan to accomplish with it?

(in laymans terms please?)

8input 8output soundcard.

I can now record drums properly as well as recording a whole band at once for demos or during live shows. Like mic the kick drum, the snare drum and 2 overhead mics for the drummer, then just mic the rest of the band as per usual.

As soon as some thing good is recorded I will give you guys a demo. By the way, I am recording my friend's band, not my own. I have yet to learn the guitar or anything. But I will be buying a (crappy) drum kit and (cheap) guitar in the near future, for both learning, and learning how to mic them.
