Topic: dual recordings with my laptop?

[caymanreview]

ok, heres what i have

il be running my source into myy picturebook via my firewire 410 @ 24/96

i also have a vx pocket v2, would i be able to take another signal (anywhere from 16/44.1 to 24/48) into my vx pocket and record both at the same time with 2 different softwares?

i have heard of someone doing this with 2 vx pockets, but would it be feasible with this setup? i know i will definantly have to increase my ram, im still looking for that 256mb upgrade for the picturebook, but i dont seem to think il be finding it

i dont have my 410 in my hands to test yet, but this week i will, and i will be testing away

im just looking for ways to use the vx pocket, so i dont start thinking about selling it, i would LOVE to be able to patch from someone else while running myy own gear and end up with 2 sources at the end of the night

I might be in the market for a VX.

well, i really dont want to sell it, i dont need the cash, and want to keep it to make sure i dont ever have to buy another one, as i got a great deal on it, and i just got my custom digi in/out only cable from ian stone, and it makes it so much better!

cayman, what will be your full rig?
the Firewire 410 can take 2 analog AND a s/pdif input simultaneously.
ie, run your mics/pre into the firewire 410 and a s/pdif patch from someone else

Could you use NTrack & cut down on the number of recording apps?

im running 480's > 410 > laptop for now

so i can take my mics and also an extra s/pfif signal at once?

what kind of mix options would i have?

could i use cool edit pro or something similar and do a 4 track recording so i didnt have to mix on the fly

yep, it should save as 4 seperate mono files that you pan/mix down later.
