My PC interfaced remote recording experiences have been bad. You really don't need problems when the band is ready to play. You don't get second chances.
Reliability is key, a messed up laptop recording is useless.
I use a Alesis HD24XR with a stack of preamps and a small 16x4x2x24 Soundcraft Delta console, easy, never a hiccup and 100% reliable.
Results are first rate, regardless of the style of music.

I still use my HD24XR as such, only I simultaneously record to my computer via the ADAT out into a Lightbridge, and use the computer for monitoring. The only problem is I wish my rig was smaller and lighter...Jim Williams wrote:My PC interfaced remote recording experiences have been bad.

Considering I used to use 24 track 500 lb tape machines my location rig is very easy to transport and use now days. I can skip the high end mic pre racks and just use the modified soundcraft console, I can carry that in myself as it's pretty small and lightweight.
Mic stands, a few DI's, great mics, cans and a couple of bar stools and I'm ready to go. It's never been so easy or fun. Press record, relax and have a drink.
