First, I am not very experienced in recording and so I am hoping for some detailed support as I have seen great knowledge here.
I have an RM32 rack mixer and S1 3 professional, which runs on a MacBook Pro 13" (3.1Ghz, Retina, Core i7, 16GB RAM, Thunderbolt & FW800). I have an older Mac that I use for UC Surface for the Mixer. The basic control functions for the mixer work very well in my opinion. The FW connection to S1 technically works too. So: UC-Mac is connected through ethernet to a router, so is the RM32 and that's how I control the mixer. The FW cable goes from the RM32 to the S1-Mac for recording purposes.
Nowhere have I been able to find what a good way of working is using S1 and the RM32, and how to setup S1, for recording my guitar tracks. I would like to do this in a way whereby I can simply record track 1&2. Go back, record track 3$4 whilst having recorded tracks 1&2 on the monitors, and then record track 5&6 whilst having tracks 1-4 on the monitors.
These might be beginner questions but I have spent significant time with the RM32 and S1 to try to figure this out, but I feel I am not there. In a way, I am asking for a 'best practice' in detail.
Thank you for reading and making it this far.
If, in order to give me some ideas, you need more info, feel free to ask.
