Linkin Park's Mobile Recording Rig
*Recording on their tour bus for the 2nd album*
"It all sits in the back lounge [of the bus], which is about 8 ft wide, 12 ft long, and 7 ft tall. We have a dual-processor [Apple Macintosh] G4 with a flatscreen monitor running Digidesign Pro Tools 5.1 Mixplus, [which includes] a 24-bit 888/24 I/O box and a seven-slot Magma expansion chassis with one Mix Core card and two DSP Farm cards for all the plug-ins. We also have a Roland JV-1080 [synth module] with an Orchestral expansion card, an Emagic Unitor-8 [MIDI interface], a Glyph rack with three hot- swappable hard drives, and a VXA tape backup drive. I [Mike] use Mackie HR824 powered monitors; I seem to get my best mixes with those and a pair of Sony headphones. We do the scratch vocal tracks with a Shure SM58.
