Recording into Vegas from an analog board

I have one other question. I realize that there are more efficient and robust applications to use for music recording, mixing, etc. however I am not a professional producer and I just need to input individual instruments simultaneously and I am familiar with Vegas. Let's say a you have 8 musicians playing live (14 inputs for mics and drum kit) and you want to separate the instuments/mics on 14 different individual tracks on the Vegas timeline. Is that possible from an analog board?? I guess you would need some sort or firewire card on the board to connect but is there another way of doing it??
Any advice would be great... I would really like to accomplish this in Vegas if possible..

Hi Vegasuser88, you can only do that if you have an audio card with 14 or more discreet inputs. Like I'm using the Motu 24 I/O which has 24 inputs and 24 outputs. It's a breeze to do it on there. Without an multiple input audio card, you'll have to get as good a "Live" mix as you can on your analog board, and record the stereo output to Vegas. Don't forget to set Vegas' audio card to the one connected to your analog mixer's output. Other than that you have to record one track at a time to Vegas, (probably not what you want to do) but if you do, make sure you have at least one bar of click track before every track, so you have something to sync up to in Post Production. Hope that helps?
