Hardware setup

when u say "using the waldorf and electribe for midi activity" do you mean tweaking the gear as it gets recorded e.g using the filter on the electribe and recording it?? if thts what you mean then yes.....dont think the waldorfs got a midi out tho from what i read....

the mbase is mono and has a midi out and an audio out.....

tht makes sense wht u said by connectin it up cheers....doesnt leave alot of ins left on the 828 tho.....

another way to connect it up could be just to send each output of the hardware to one input in the 828?? cause am plannin on gettin more hardware....ths wouldnt mean tht each hardware sound would come thru one speaker would it??

There will be gear that will have lots of outs + a master out.

It all depends on what you want to do. For example, I used to have a tr909 that I would like to send the individual outs to the ins on the motu 828, but since the 909 has something like 9 seperate outs, you can already see that i would not have enough ins on the audio interface. You have to make up your mind if you want to just connect the master outs on the gear to the motu, or you want to seperate each sound.

An option for not having enough ins is to get a patchbay, but i don't recommend that to anyone who is just starting to get hardware gear now. It works, but it can be a fuss.
