Hi everybody,
I hope this is not a silly question, but I'm not super experienced with all this and would like some input. Would I have any advantages in using a digital mixer like my current Tascam DM-24 digital mixer as my method of getting audio to and from my PC instead of something like a Presonus Firepod, MOTU Traveler using Firewire? Right now I actually have the DM-24 and I'm using ADAT optical I/O to and from the PC through an E-mu 1212M. But recently I've started to do almost all mixing in the box (Sonar 4), and right now I'm basically using it as a big interface. Anything else great I should be doing with the digital mixer that I'm missing? I was guessing DAW control interface?...
One more question...I've read that the Firewire Interface for the DM-24 supports 24 channel I/O at 48K, but not higher like 96K...do you all view that as a big limitation? The mixer itself will do 96K, but right now I'm doing everything 44.1K.
Thanks!
Donny
