I recently picked up a Tascam M-512 mixer, and am planning on going through it to clean it out. I'm new to physical mixers, so please bear with me while I ask a few probably very rudimentary questions. Firstly, I seem to be getting a lot of somewhat contradictory information about how one goes...

Now I just have to figure out of the Garnet is worth grabbing :)

Now I've got more options to decide on. For 300 USD I could get a big SECK 242, 24 track, mixer. It works alright, but only outputs a stereo mix. BUT I would also get a late 60's Garnet Pro Vocal, 4 sets of floor monitor speakers, and a random assortment of cables, microphones and accessories...

I'm strictly in the local used market on this purchase as buying new equipment in Canada right now is unpleasant with the dollar conversion. I'm also hoping to have the analog set up & fully functioning by May. Those are my main constrictions in thinking about going with this board. I'm not...

Well it allows 16 inputs, but as far as I can tell outputs only to 2 tracks. The firewire would allow for output/input of all 16 tracks with my computer, but that's not what I'd be using it for. The more I think about it, I don't think I'd record much more than 2 tracks at a time (although, its...

If you hold option and click on the volume control in the toolbar, you should get a list of input and output devices your computer recognizes. I would first check there to see if you can select your mixer as the output for audio. If your mixer has any sort of software associated with it on your...

Hmmmm, now I'm thinking about if I'd ever need to record 8 tracks at the same time. 2 tracks at a time isn't too bad. I think for the money (340 USD) it seems to be a pretty good option for me. My understanding is 2 get two tracks of recording, I would just have to hard pan the channels left...

Thanks, that's what I assumed. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't completely stupid and missing something. The hunt for the right mixer goes on

It still seems like I can only send a stereo mix, at best, to the reel to reel with this particular mixer. Other than the firewire to send to my computer, I only see stereo outs. Maybe I'm wrong? I went through the manual, and can't find anything that tells me different. And thanks for the help!

I picked up an 8 track reel to reel recently, Fostex Model 80. Still need to pick up some peripheries for it, including a mixer. I'm a little confused about how you route through these things. Like for instance, theres a Mackie 1620i local to me for a good price. Would I be able to use the...
