so yeah i got an mbox w pro tools and basically its a great program and all super cool to record guitar and all ive also taken some classes about pro tools, but i just have so much trouble micking the drums because i use a mixer connected to 1 of the inputs on the mbox both left and right outs from the mixer into a single quarter inch pretty cool. Anyways it is so difficult to eq everything and then record and then have to re eq everything up until u get the right sound, well i just wish digidesign made something that at least had 8 inputs like the firepod, so im thinking about getting the firepod i know its not compatible w/ pro tools but it comes with cubase. Is cubase good software? i have never tried it does it have as many features as pro tools?? i dont know what to get i just need a lot of inputs it would be cool to just connect all the mics and eq them and mess with each different drum on the computer but yeah gimme some other cool interfaces that u guys know i need a lot of inputs especially for recording drums. thanx u guys
