Dr.EM said:I do plan to upgrade my soundcard at some point to one with 8 inputs. To go with this i'll need 8 mic preamps. The only feasable way I can attain this is by constructing it myself. I don't need mixing facilities as in an 8 bus mixer (mixing done on computer, mixer takes up room and costs a lot) and I wouldn't want to buy 8 individual mic preamps for cost reasons mainly. I can however build a unit with 8 mic preamps of excellent quality and I can add in a headphone amplifier I want all for a very reasonably cost. That is a good example; getting exactly what you want for the least cost (though it takes your personal time of course).
Dr.EM said:Sure, you can get soundcards with 100's of inputs if you needed (by combining several units such as the MOTU ones). The one i'm looking at is this:

I know the USB mixers you mean but i'm not actually sure that they send multichannel data over the connection, rather just stereo like from a normal mixer? Either way you'd be paying extra for EQ and effects sends etc and you'd miss the DSP/processing features of that PCI based system that apparently help a lot with program speed.
If you play instruments then you'll like the studio work
Dr.EM said:I expect Music tech will be her favourite course she takes?
I enjoyed both music tech and electronics and that is reflected in decent grades for both.

Perhaps she doesn't do much revision because the course is mostly coursework based.
That's what I did in GSCE IT.Nigel Goodwin said:I was only talking about exam results, the course work is seperate, she took her GCSE Statistics in year 10 - only got a B overall. Her coursework was marked as a D - but her exam result was good enough to make the overall mark a B (and according to the teacher, it was very close to an A).
