“Since I take the signals for the mix after the channelstrips…”

I don’t think I know how to do this on my QU-SB. I’m going to hunt around in the manual.

OP Here. For me, the two key things are room mics and stereo mix. I have 2 PZM mics that I picked up off ebay for the room. I play guitar stage left, so I pan my guitar slightly left and the other guitar slightly right. Vocals, bass and kick are centered. I don’t mic the guitars anymore, we both use a DI so my IEMs always have a consistent signal.

Doing these two things made a world of difference for me.

I would also be interested in compression settings for IEMs.

You got it! 😉

Nevermind, I’m a dumbass.

Recording onto a 2011 macbook pro i7 8 gigs ram and 750gb sata hard drive. The logic file was damn near close to 4gb too (recording 10 tracks at once)

If the hard drive in the macbook isn’t fast enough, I might just get an external HD that is and import the files when I’m done recording.

Thanks. Actually, I tried recording our rehearsals right into Garageband and would sometimes get an error due to not being able to write such large files, something along those lines. I would have to occasionally and stop/start recording after each song. My goal would be to just hit record and let the whole practice record, which is why I thougth going straight to a hard drive would be easier.

Thanks tonmeister! I really appreciate the advice. I think I’m going to go the exact route that you did. Did you have to call them in order to get the special cable reel?

[EricParticipant]

Thanks! Which cable reel did you end up getting?
