Ok, here we go again...

First off, thanks to those who were willing to give advice on recording gear. I'm trying to figure out what mixer to buy and I could use some wisdom if you've got any to spare... I'll be recording to an Otari 5050 MKIII and Cubase VST through a Delta 1010.

I really like the Allen & Heath WZ16 2DX. I want at least 16 channels, and it seems like it would really do the trick for my strictly recording/mixing situation. (no gigging) I also have a line on a Ramsa WR-T820. It's 15 years old, but less $ than the new A&H, and seems to have been more "pro" in its day... Anyone here familiar with that beast?

So far, it's between these two. (I've ruled out Mackie and Behringer.) The A&H will set me back $950, or the Ramsa about $600. I want the best quality I can afford, and I plan on keeping it a while, so any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Yo Antique 69Vette:

Suggest you take a look at the Yorkville mixers. Keep hearing nice things about them....just read something the other day commenting on the quality and price.

You can reach Yorkville via, www.Yorkville.com

Since I use a DAW, I have the mixer built in; but, if I had to buy one, I would certainly take a peek at Yorkville.

PS I use the Yorkville YSM-1 monitors and they are very good considering the low cost.
