My Previous Studio Setup

I was recording my clients and their guests remotely, and I had several computers so I could bring each participant into the session on a different computer so I could record their audio separately on its own track.

The audio from each computer was brought into the mixer, then I sent direct outputs from the mixer to my Focusrite 18i20 interface and recorded multitrack in the computer using Reaper. I also used the mixer to generate mix minus’s for each participant/computer.

I had compressors which I could use “to tape” in case a participant was too dynamic.

I had my iPad to play the intro and outro music for each of my client’s shows. This would also go into the mixer then direct out into the computer.

I had an actual phone line as well so I could bring in folks on the phone.

And of course I had my own microphone going through my channel strip and then into the mixer.
