Remote Recording Set up
Hi Everybody, It's been a very long time since I've been here. I want to put together a good, but simple remote recording rig. I want to be able to record sixteen tracks on to my lap-top (2015 Mac Pro) and then edit on my Mac tower (a hot rodded 2010). I prefer to stay with MOTU gear, but they have so many boxes with so many options, I'm not sure which to choose. Suggestions?? Thanks

Re: Remote Recording Set up
Well, the ability to record 16 simultaneous tracks to a Mac Pro is fairly specific. Unfortunately, with no details, it's impossible to make a specific recommendation.
Since you have a PCIe slot as well as USB 2 and FireWire, you have a few choices and most of them are available used.

Re: Remote Recording Set up
Thanks for responding. I'm wondering how MOTU'S new Stage Box 16B with AVB would work. If I understand AVB correctly, I should be able to run an Ethernet cable from the 16B directly to my laptop. However, I would need an Ethernet to USB or Thunderbolt adapter to connect to my laptop. Does that sound right?
