Behringer has great documentation in PDF format on their site, including a brochure on 'Practical Application' for various situations incl. Recording with your mixer. Bloods crips bangin on wax rar. The manual would also help. You basically can interface from that mixer to your PC in various ways: analog to line-in of regular PC soundcard or digital via ADAT- or TDIF-board to a PC card that accepts ADAT resp.

Software: You may want to use Sonar if you need all the bells and whistles - that's for you to decide based on what you want to do. If you would tell us more about it. That Turtle Beach card is for gamers and watching DVDs - better not use it for a music PC (e.g. Max sample rate 48k, driver quality.). Sorry - you may not like my answer. Maybe there's a cheaper way out there.

But I don't know of it. You need an interface on the computer to bring in the TDIF signals. The cheapest one I know would be the MOTU 2408 interface. If you get one of the older versions from ebay, its not as expensive - but you are limited to 48kHz. I don't know if the behr will send 96kHz signals on the TDIF. If you don't care, its not too bad -- except the older MOTU interfaces use a PCI card which doesn't work with all computers. The newer interfaces are great - and the newer PCI card (424) works well across just about every system, but its about a grand for the interface.

It gives you 24 channels of TDIF in and out - along with 8 channels of analog in and out. You can only use 24 at a time, choosable in banks of 8 channels. You can hang up to 4 2408 units off of the single PCI card.

2 external 2408 boxes would give you the full 32 channels of TDIF from the behr combined with 16 analog channels. Along with the interface you need software for the computer.

Yes, Sonar is an excellent choice. ORIGINAL: wizardjon I am a newbie and would like to ask some questions before buying more equipment & software. I have a Behringer DDx3216 mixer w/2 tdif interface cards. I have built a fast PC with 600 GB of storage and a fast video card.

I am running a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound card. I am confused about interfacing to my PC. (what type of sound card I need, What software Sonar?, and cabling) I would be greatful for any help or advice Thanks The mixer could be usefull for monitoring while you track but when you use a PC to do music production you no longer need a mixer. While it might be possible to create a digital interface to the PC, that creates all kinds of problems and limitations.

Also, digital audio interfaces like TDIF, ADAT, SPDIF, and AES/EBU are all non error checking. Using them also limits you to one sample rate clock for all the gear including the mixer and sound card. Unless you want to spend a lot of time and money becoming an expert at digital audio interfaceing only to find out there is little or no adavantage, I think you should spend your money on the best quality sound card you can get that has analog inputs so you can record directly to the PC. Sonar has unlimited effects and automation for mixing power so there is no need for a mixer for mixdown. Once you get the sound in your PC through the purest path possible it should not leave untill the song is finished and burned to CD.

Determine how many tracks you would need to record at once and make sure the sound card has enough. Many have a software mixer included to montior while recording so again, your mixer might not even be needed at all. The best quality sound I've been able to find in a computer sound card is the Lynx line of cards.

The converters and supporting analog electronics are just excellent and all I/O is balanced. I use a Lynx Two Model A on my system with Sonar and the sound quality is way better then any system I've used and frankly more then I expected.
