I hope Brandon gives us a rundown on the computer he was using for this demonstration. I know he said i5 but how much ram and what OS would be nice to know.
 

Since he wasn't using any virtual synths, Only a basic handful of fx plugins, I'm guessing that the memory needed was minimal (I wasly record 32 inputs simultaneously on my old win2k/Dual-Soundscape/SSL Mixtreme cards) tho they are connected via a PCI card there not USB)...
 
I do 16 inputs with the Presonus (8 with preamps) and another 8 (without preamps) via an older Soundscape SS8IO-1 using the Presonus' ADAT i/o...

Had to use Windows 8 as he was using a 27" touchscreen...

Oh, and when will you post the video for replay and download? 

I hope they post it as well! I'd sure like to watch through this.

Yes, it was very impressive all round. Brandon is great at this stuff, explains things very well. Miss his input round these parts :(
 
Looks like coca cola pulled his sponsorship deal though ;)

Hey,Keni. I went over to the Roland website and found the page about chaining two Studio Captures together. They have to be hooked to two separate usb ports or a good high quality hub. You daisy chain the digital coax jacks from the main to the slave and your good to go. They also come with the rack ears.
I just might be saying goodbye to my MOTU 24io. It has been a real workhorse and never had one crash ever with it but these Studio Captures are looking awful good. They just opened a GC here in Macon. Some good friends of mine work there. Might be time to collect on those I.O.U.s I have been sitting on for a long time! LOL!

BTW, I have had no luck posting on Chrome this morning. I had to switch to IE and it's fine.

 
I liked the basic look of and description of abilities of the Studio Capture... It definitely is robust enuf for comfortable session recording/mixing/monitoring in the same fashion as my Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL....
 
I'd consider a pair if I was in the market right now for sure.... tho I would hope they have rack ears or such for it as we don't all work in tabletop setups...

Keni,
The Octa Capture & Studio Capture come with rack ears in the package.  I am looking at the Octa Capture for purchase, although both will work with my VS 100 (and also the VS 700) by linking the digital ports together and having each unit connected to your computer via USB.

 
Does anyone ever mention that the ADAT bus is running at 20 bits when the analog I/O is set to 24bits?
 
Does anyone ever ask what happens when you run at 96kHz?
 
 
best regards,
mike
 
 

a) Rack ears included.

b) No ADAT bus on the Studio-Capture. Expansion is via Another USB and SPDIF is used for sync. When using two interfaces they share the same driver.

Best Regards
Ludvig

My sincere thanks to those that made the webinar and for the incredibly kind feedback. Made me really happy to read. Yesterday was totally gratifying and Souliance made my job easy by coming with instruments locked and loaded. That reminds me...I forgot to mention production tips number 1 and 2:
 
1) Play good
2) Sound good
 
:-)
 
The webinar will definitely be available for viewing relatively soon. We caught hi-def audio and video on six cameras and want everyone to get a chance to see it.
 
For anyone interested I was using:
 
PC Audio Labs i5 with 8GB of RAM running standard 7200 RPM drives and Windows 8
SONAR X2a Producer
Acer 27" touchscreen
Roland STUDIO-CAPTURE
 
The band used:
 
Roland TD30KV
Roland VR-09
BOSS GT-10B
BOSS GT-100
 
The A/V crew used too much to list but mixed everything on a Roland M-200i
 
Anyway, thanks so much again for taking the time to watch. I had a blast and can't wait to do another.
 
Happy to answer any questions if I missed anything.

Hi Sidroe...

Thanks for the update.

I'm guessing it's worth two USB prts to make sure nothing "sweats". ;-)

Using hubs always slows down the USB line..

These ays there are many good sounding interfaces so for me it's become a matter of the driver's UI for monitoring and such. The UI for the Roland seemed pretty comprehensive...

I'm real curious how good the auto sense is...

Did you notice which sample rates it supports?
