I want to get something with real faders for mixing. I like the idea of an old school mixing board, but want the ability to control my DAW. I also don't want to spend a shit ton of money.
I've seen several options, the Tascam DM3200 or 4800 the PreSonus digital mixer and the Behringer X32, are all in my price range (or very close the DM 4800 is a bit high, but I've seen them on evil bay at reasonable prices) So I'm setting my budget at around 4k.
Does any one here own or use these models?
Also, how would you rank the meter bridge? Is it a necessity or just a bunch of pretty lights?
Or I could go with the Mackie control surface.
I do record acoustic drums, 7 or 8 mics, and guitars (3mics), bass (1mic & D.I.) and vocals(1 mic). A 16 channel would suffice.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Tascam US-1800 which has all the ins I need. And Sonar X3 Daw.
