Recording 2Box

[nicog]

Hi guys, this is probably off-tpoic, I just wanted to heard your thoughts. In order to record  drums tracks with my drumit5, I have to choose an audio interface. So, most of their difference are in the preamps (or that waht I heard), but for recording the drumit5 I think I dont need preamps. Would just analog inputs work? Is there any card with just analog inputs?
Thanks-

what is your budget? and how many channels do you want to record simultaneously?

Hi Nicog,

I just finished mastering my new album and recorded all my 2box drums using http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-18i8 Cost me around $450

Fantastic unit, well built, and suited up with the 2box perfectly. I have a cable snake going from the 2box module to the 8 inputs on the front and back of the unit. It also comes with the a software mixer so you can tweak the input volumes if need be. Used Presonus Studio One 2 Producer as my DAW.

I used a hybrid Steve Slate 4 Platinum kit for my VST. I went DI for bass with a Radial J48 active direct box. Guitars used a Blackstar DST emulated output and mic'd VOX and Lead guitars. Had the whole album mixed at very nice studio and it sounds huge.

I'll be posting a stream in the next  month of so when the album is coming out.

thanks-
