Question Best Equipment for Portable Recording

Hi guys! After spending a lot of money, i bought a MacBook Pro following some advices i read here and my own experience. I went for the 17 inch one, with backlit keyboard (i love it) and have started recording some tracks of my best friend who sings and plays the guitar.
So, i want to start a project which involves going to gigs recording the performance, then i mix it at home an deliver a CD/send MP3 to the band, and, so, i need a good interface with lots of analog inputs. Which one should i get? Am i missing something? A Mackie, for example? Thanks in advance.

Edit: let's say i have to record a band with drums, guitar, bass, voices, keyboards, and so on. An option is to buy a small mixer for the drums and apply a regular/standard/whatever processing to avoid buying more interfaces....

Talking Best Equipment for Portable Recording

I think a Mackie Onyz 1640 would work very well for you. They are about $1600 street price with the firewire out option. That will give you 16 very good mic pres with direct out via firewire. If 16 channels isn't enough you can add a second one for 32 inputs.

They are very convenient to use because you have a bit of metering on every channel.

Jay,

Are you making a point about this setup or do you also have a question?

We're all "ears" if you do.

Are you connecting this rig to a laptop?

This was meant to be a reply to another thread.... I have no idea where that thread went!

When I first noticed it I assumed it was a forum glitch that would get worked out.

Hopefully who ever had the question will stumble upon this

Now the two threads are merged together and everything is everything.

Next time click on the "post reply" button instead of the "new thread" button.

Now back to the show!

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd be willing to bet the I did click reply. When I replied the thread was in Music computers. A day later I found the two separate threads in this area.

All's well the ends well. Thanks for merging them.
