A Sarcastic Statement
Can anyone suggest an 8-Channel Mic Pre w/o AD conversion, but has direct outs? Oh and to top it all off, for under $1000!
I already have an echo audiofire12 to handle all my AD conversion going into PT via Firewire. So I am just looking for an upgrade to using a Mackie mixerboard w/ direct outs. I have a few standalone pres too, but want something separate with a strip of 8, doesn't need "character" or "color", but I still want it to sound decent. I just don't want a big mixer in a rack anymore.
It seems there are a lot of options out there with AD and firewire or usb connection, but I don't want to pay for that part of the equation, just the pre amps with direct outs to go into my converter/interface.
I had my heart set on a Mackie Onyx 800 R, but for some God forsaken reason, they have discontinued it and replaced with a model with wayyyy less features per channel, which renders it pretty useless for anything even semi-serious, imo.
Any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!
