Making a 14 track recording tomorrow!

Wish me luck.
 
I don't often record this many tracks. I'm going to use my old M-Audio with clock set to external feeding 2 tracks via spdif to my new RME UCX. I'll have 8 tracks in the UCX, 24 bit 88.2.
 
Then, I'll use midi sync to my Tascam 2488 to add additional tracks (up to 8).
 
I'm really excited to make a great recording.
 
Capturing a big band is as a technical performance not so unlike a musical performance. I have to have everything practiced and ready to go.

I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Thanks all! I'm just getting ready to load up the PC. Last thing in the load. I used my old pedal board to pack up my interfaces, pre amps compressors. It worked pretty well. Gotta add a rack to the list though.

    I'm going to bring the xbrace for my keyboard and use the pedal board as a table for gear.

    Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday!

    It's been my biggest problem ... adding tracks and stuff to what I already have. The programs themselves ... whatevuhhh ... but being able to listen to what is there so you can add/play a new track as I play along with it, is exactly what I'm having issues with ... and wanted some help ... and I do not know if I don't know the programs well enough, or what I am doing is bassackwards, or just plain bapu'ness!
     
    $50 bux for an hour is the latest offer!
