The lack of inserts would be be an issue for me.
If you're tracking via external preamps, you could go from Preamp to compressor and then into the line input on the board, allowing you to use the board's A/D interface.. That's not a problem.
But, if you are hoping to use the PC as a...
I'd bet the CS8 unit requires a PC, like the Mackie unit. Cool tech, that I have come very close to buying more than once...
That MIDI only unit looks cool. Capture, and then playback those MIDI files in the same session... perfection.
Could the display portion just not be connected properly? I'd open it back up and just have a good, slow, look 'round to see if something was crimped, cut, or wiggled loose.
Aaah. Makes sense!

I'll send you a DM now.
I used to own both, so here goes :)
1.) No. They are nearly identical. Some switches are different, because they were automate-able, but generally speaking, the two boards are the same with the M3700 having some automation features added.
2.) Yes. I did this as well. The only 'hiccup' is that...
Hello All,
I've had a Tapco 2200 for some time and I used to use it with some frequency until it started to get too scratchy to be workable. It's a Stereo/Dual Mono 10band Graphic EQ that I always found easy to use and, more or less, invisible sounding. I pulled it out of the rack today and did...
