Ok...I just want to know, since I just got a Firepod to slap my laptop with, if it would be a logical thing to be able to trigger all drums through a brain (i.e. Alesis DM5) and go into my computer via MIDI with it and have basically all my drums done and only have to worry about miking cymbals/etc.?
This would be assuming I spat the MIDI messages that were recorded through something like EZDrummer or something afterwards.
I am simply looking to get the biggest bang for buck right now, as there aren't too many bucks to be had for doing it any other way easier. My drummer is probably gonna pick up a DM5 soon, so thats why I was asking.
Right now, as we will probably use this setup to record some live stuff, it will most likely be (Vox/Gtr1/Gtr2/Bass/Kick/Snare/OH1/OH2) since there are only really 8 inputs. I understand a lot of this trouble could be bypassed by doing just drums first for 8 channels, and then doing guitars/bass/vox/etc afterwards, but you know....
