Hi.
Early 2000s I did a lot of studio recording and live sound. I've been out of the loop for a while but looking at getting back into it. Specifically, I want to able to record small bands as well as mix live sound for small gigs in small venues (portable).
I'm wondering if there is some sort of hardware/software combination which will allow me to do both? I have always been a Logic user and for recording/production that would still be my first choice but I wondered if there is some sort of live sound system that could be controlled with an iPad or similar that would also double as ADC/DAC for use with Logic or similar DAW.
Perhaps I'm looking for something that doesn't exist?
I'm alright for mics and FOH/monitoring.
All price brackets considered but when it comes down to it I'm not going to be buying the most expensive option!
Cheers if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I do a lot of live recordings and live sound and the weapon of choice is an Allan and Heath QU16 which is a fully fledged digital mixer but records in 24 bit \ 48K to multitrack on a USB pen key. Basically you connect the band up live, mix the gig but mean while the QU records every channel to the USB pen key or harddrtive. Then you just loads the 18 wavs into Logic or Reaper and mix it. Done many a live recording like this and it's effortless
Amazing how much choice there is now and how affordable it has all become. Incredible.
Get mine tomorrow.
I'm really happy with it, although I'd probably get the TF-1 or TF-3 if I bought again so I have a control surface (I originally bought the mixer to sit on stage with me and I mix from my iPad mounted on my mic stand).

Early indications are that the mixer and software are the dogs bollocks and will do exactly what you are talking about doing.
