oh yeah and stereo or mono cords? I didn't know there was a difference? I think everything I'll be recording is MONO, except the turntables would be stereo. So can I used stereo cables with mono equiptment? Also I was wondering about the so called 'snake cable' I read about it online, but didn't qui...

I'm wondering about Patch Cords - I'm gonna need to buy like a 10 pack from eBay... Was looking at either some 18" or 3' cables... But my question is balanced or unbalanced and is it worth it to buy more expensive cables? I've found a 10 pack for about $25 which seems pretty cheap, but I think ...

Yeah I'll post some soon, just waiting for my 8 channel DI box so we can hook everything up!!!!

By the way how do you upload a song anyway, I don't see any upload box in this window???

Thanks for your Help!!! I have a much better understand now with where to go with this... I think it'll take lots of tweaking - but thats the fun part right! I don't have the MKII tho, I have the MKI, if that matters at all.

Thanks again

I think I found what I'm looking for!! Of course Behringer would make it!! -----A Behringer Ultra DI Pro - DI800 As far as I can tell the unit will split up to 8 channels of audio - one output is called a LINK that will send unchanged to the amp/monitor while the other output is a balance XLR type o...

Well I ran into the Behringer UltraLink Pro MX882, which looked promising but if I'm reading the specs right it can only split 2 channels into 8 outputs - disapointing that it can't split all 8 channels into 2 channels each... It seems Behringer would have something to do this...

Well, I found one DI box/splitter - A Behringer Ultra DI DI20 which will split 1 channel into 2... THis thing would cost me about $35 - so multiply by 10 = $350!!!! I really need a better way to go here! I guess thats why origionally I was thinking about using splitter cables going from 1 male 1/4&q...

Thanks again Greg! I need to know more about DI boxes, I think your right that I should send everything through a DI box and then out to amps for monitoring and Cubase for recording... sooooooo I've been searching on eBay and I'm finding it hard to understand the features these things have... Do I w...

Thanks to everyone who helped me out on my last conversation about what I need to record my bands jams!! Now I need some advice about using this fine piece of hardware!!! I just got my MOTU 828 in the mail from eBay and I'm having problems setting it up in Cubase. My friend just bought Cubase for th...

My band jammed last night and it was sooo great!! I really need to start recording this stuff, so I bid a little higher than I would have before, won the auction on a 828 MkI for about $300!!! So I can't wait to get all this stuff hooked up and running!! I'm wondering about hooking up all of this st...

Cool, I'll see if I can make another steal here on eBay on either the MkI or MkII - probably go for the MkI - then I can afford some more RAM and a nice huge harddrive to record all of this onto... I suppose if I buy the MkI off eBay, I'll also have to find some program that reads the thing, since i...

Since I already have the 8 channels coming from the Behringer, all I really need is a good sounding firewire device that has optical input/output on it right? So... is there any rackmount device that would suit me well, and maybe cheaper than the MKII? It wouldn't have to be a lot of channels, could...

Well I won my Behringer ADA 8000 for under $150! so now I just need to decide on which firewire device to pair it with...

Thanks again Greg! I'm bidding on a ADA 8000 at the moment, it seems that is one key piece that I will need. I need to look into the sample rate difference between the MkI & MkII, maybe you know them off the top of your head? What does anybody think about buying a MKII used off eBay? Is it a goo...

Nice post Greg, Helps me out a lot!!!

I see you have a 828(first edition), could I do this kind of settup with one of those instead of the mkII? Would be significantly cheaper if I grabbed a used one off eBay.
