The computer was basically used as a tape machine, it’s an analog mix using just a bit of the channel EQ on my Soundcraft LX7. Interface is a Delta 1010, preamps were the direct outs from the Soundcraft channel strips. EQ and filters bypassed for tracking.
input list:
bass amp: AT4033, maybe 3 feet back from the amp
guitar amp: EV RE20, also a good 2 or 3 feet back from the amp
about a foot off the ground and about three feet in front of the kick: AKG D112
right and left sides behind and above drum set, about 5 feet from the snare: pair of modded Oktava Mk 219s
Tracked live with everyone playing together in the same room. No baffles or headphones or anything like that.
Buddhab: the Delta 1010 works great under Linux, and even has it’s own control application(Envy24control). It, along with the RME stuff, was the best option for doing multitrack audio on Linux for a long time, and it still holds up. It also has no cheap micamps in the signal path, just 8 balanced line level connections going each way. If you are using a mixing console I don’t know of a better way to go until you start spending real money. Highly recommended.
