Another noobie here so be gentle.

I just ordered a GLD-80 and AR2412 a few moments ago. My previous experience is limited to my StudioLive 24.4.2 for the past 3 years or so, and prior to that, just some old Mackie analogue stuff.

All the choices of I/O cards for the GLD are unfamiliar to me so I’d like to get some suggestions on what would be the most practical approach for capturing multitrack recordings to my Macbook Pro. The only DAW I’ve ever used is Studio One 2, so I’d like to stick with it if possible. Presently, with the StudioLive desk, we’ve just been using Capture software via a Firewire cable to the Macbook to record everything. A couple mouse clicks and you’re recording.

Anyway, it appears the Dante card would do the trick, but because it’s so pricey, I want to be sure I’m doing the right thing before I order it.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Joe
