Ok, here's the the deal. I have lots of old 1/2 16 track tapes done on a Msr 16. I have a damn near old stock mint Msr 16. My fomer bandmate has gone totally protools.
What I want to do is bake the old tapes if needed and get the individual 16 tracks as wave files to him so he can edit, mix, etc. in protools. Myself, I have no daw.
I would also like to take these digital files and put them back on new tape without sss.
The allen and heath ice 16 seems perfectly suited for this.
My dilemma is that is costs a grand. I'm not gonna spend a thousand bucks on anything without fully understanding its practicality.
I like that it has 16 in and out and that it is just a converter and recorder. The rca jacks, while a turn off for many , are perfect for my gear.
On the Web,:all I see is it's use for live recording. There is no mention of it being used for my purpose.
Am I the only brilliant person to concieve of this application, or is there an issue that I'm unaware of??
Anyone familiar with it?
