My adat was the best thing i could have ever bought to put down tunes. Great sound quality. Allthough, it's a lx-20, which does'nt have balanced in's or out's. I use an alesis studio-32, 16ch. inline mixer-w- 3 8+8 1/4'' unballanced snakes. alesis microverb &midiverb4's, 2 bbe sonic maximizers, ross time machine digital delay (1.4 secs.) a rockman distortion generator, and guitar compressor, berhinger ultrafxpro, dr.660 old style. Just got a Fender new amer strat (love it too) natural maple- w/rosewood fingerboard. Have bc rich rave, yamaha classical, alvarez 12-string, rockwood bass. Using rebirth, and acid software for now, but will invest in the right recording software once i find a nice platform. Thanks for stepping in, let me know what you think. if you have one of these pieces of equipment, send me an email, let me know how you make it work for your situation.
