Voice over and singing...maybe inst. recording

I'm looking for the best bang for my buck on something that would firewire/USB into my Macs to record...well, anything. I have some nice mics and would also like to be able to record inst. tracks. This is for my students and I'd really like to hear what everyone things is the best way to go.
Thanks

I could get away with a 2 if need be or would use up
to 6 to record our school choir if I had them.
There's a big price difference between 2 and 4 or more, however if you'd be willing to push your budget just a few dollars more, I see that zzounds has the firePod for $520 (and I would search around to see if anyone else had better deals, though that's nearly a $100 price drop since the last time I checked on it). The FirePod will allow you to record up to 8 channels at the same time, and is a fantastic interface. I use one and am amazed at the quality of the noise free recordings.

It also requires no drivers. Plug it in, turn on your Mac (or wake it from sleep) and it's ready to go
I really just don't even know where to start looking.
Here are a few other interfaces:

I personally would recommend a FireWire interface over USB, and of course that short list is just a starting point. Searches at zzounds, sweetwater, and musiciansfriend for "Firewire interface" will turn up dozens more.
appreciate your time.
Hope it helps --HangTime [Will Compute for Food] B-|>

  • Voice Over and Touchtype on Numpad

    I am using numpad keyboard for entering amounts. When I am using Voice Over and Touchtype I have to double tap to enter the value but on the standard keyboard I can do the one tap. Is there a work around for this, any help would be appreciated? I don't want my customers having a problem switching how they use different keyboards.
    thanks

    I very cheaply recorded some audio with the lens cap on as I needed a little bit of a voice over
    Sounds like the audio rate from the camera and the Easy Setup in FCE were mis-matched.

  • IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
    To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

    Hi petes ipod,
    Have you attempted to use different headphones or earbuds with your iPod? Does the same issue occur when you do? If so, your iPod Shuffle may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Screen locked with voice over and zero value

    My ipad screen is locked with voice over and every time I put in my pass code it just repeats and says zero value.  How do I get into my ipad without having to loose all my data.  Have icloud backup but not sure if that is working properly.Frustrated!

    Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off'. You need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling e.g. to type a digit of your passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it, and then double-tap the digit to type it.
    Or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : select the iPad  in iTunes, select its Summary tab, scroll to the bottom of that and click the 'configure accessibility' button :
    And on the popup select 'none' for the 'seeing' option :
    Clicking 'ok' should turn it 'off' on your iPad

  • What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

  • How can I record a voice over and save as MP3?

    Good morning! I do voice overs. In my studio I STILL have a PC and use adobe audition. For my day to day business I know have a MAC BOOK PRO. I am going on vacation and need to record on my MacBook Pro with Garage Band.
    I have successfully set up my Mic(studio Projects C1) and my travel PreAmp (MAudioDuo) to record in Garage Band. All I need is dry voice. I have recorded a track but need to save is as an MP3. The test track I recorded is about 15 seconds long but yet plays for 30 seconds...I have deleted everything after the voice but it still seems like the track is longer. I have to put in MP3 format. How do I do this? This is a nice program but looks like it is too much for what I need it to do. So, any other recommendations on more appropriate software is appreciated if needed.
