Spot the weakest link... in my recording chain?? Great example in here..

Mitch Lowen · 1st February 2006

I use a PC

Pentium III 667Mhz
2 x 20Gb Harddisks

I record into

Logic Audio Gold 4.1 (retail)

Vocals

Joemeek JM-47 mic
Joemeek VC3 v2 pre-amp

Through an analog cable from the pre-amp into the L input of my soundcard

Audiowerk 8 card

Midi:

E-mu Proteus2000 incl. Phatt Board (Turbo Phatt synth)
Roland JV2080
Akai S950

Everything goes back to my old trusted Yamaha MC1602 mixer.

The audio -> 2 tracks
All synths -> 2 tracks each
S950 -> 5 tracks

A song recorded and mixed like this:

Davey G - Break It Down

Besides fixing the acoustics problems in my room I want to start tracking all my sounds into Logic and mixing everything in the box <term I just learned haha>

One thing: a friend uses Creamware and is going crazy over how thin certain properly sounds end up sounding in Logic. He says 'Eventhough ur mixer is old etc. it gives a lot of bottom to your music..' He suggests I track from the mixer's XLR outs straight into the soundcard.

I wonder: what's the weakest link (besides me! think lack of proper acoustics and really good engineering skills).

Thanx

Oh.. and I have this TL-Audio C-5021 I never touch.. because plug-ins might probably be better (I got Waves + TC Electronic plug-ins).

So much advice to give now huh... be brutal
