Ok thank you again!

Steenamaroo, I get it now. Thank you. I hate Focusrite right now. Sorry for the frustration/venting. Quick follow up question: if I get the ADA8200, what does that look like from inside the DAW? Like, if Clarett 8 is the de facto Interace, how will the DAW know there is more than 10 channels...

No one is answering anything clearly here. Steenamaroo, when you say "The focusrite has no digital inputs and is not a digital to analog converter" -- which unit are you TALKING ABOUT!? Let me state this again for the third time: I have a Focusrite Clarett Pre 8 (thunderbolt) - this unit has...

If the Octopre MKII is an "Input Only" device. Why does it have 8 TRS outputs on the back?

This is exactly why I can't stand digital. How many people do we have on this thread now? Still no one can tell me an answer to the question! Forget about Mic Pres and the mixer ok... just someone please tell me (because Focusrite literature and website does not!) can I link the Scarlett 8Pre...

Let me ask it another way, will linking a Clarett 8 Pre with an OctoPre give you 18 analog outputs simultaneously? If you look at the backs of the units, the Clarett has 10 TRS outs, and Octo has 8. I want to use all of those analog outputs to feed a mixing console. I don't care for digital...

Thanks for the input and suggestion for Reaper. I dont understand how in this setup however, the DAW would "see" the 8 analog outputs of the Octopre. Isnt the ADAT out on the back of the Octopre just outputting digital tracks? To more clear, I want to link the two interfaces so that all 18...

Hi All, I'm currently waiting for a PSU before I can use my tape deck. And I recently scored a Soundtracs Topaz board (with +4 mods done) in the meantime, which I'd like to practice mixes on, but using my laptop/Pro Tools as the capture/repro. I have a Macbook Air (about 3 years old) along...

Is this a crazy concept: If I print effects to tape (I really only use the PCM 90 on drum buss, and Fulltone Tape echo on vocals and guitar) can I just use the PGM ins on the 388 to monitor 8 stereo tracks with panning? The TL Fat Track has 4 stereo inputs for summing that have a switch for...

Sorry I'm not being specific enough about my confusion on the matter. Lots of mixers exist for live sound use with 1/4 in 16 channel format. None have dedicated "Tape In" as on the back of the M3500 So in order to have inputs still open to me when everything is connected, how do I get around...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a great Holiday and new year. I've been calling and messaging GRS Systems almost every other day. They are not responding, so it looks like I'll have to file a small claims suit to recoup the 1400 bucks. As the ability to use or even offload the M3500 has...

Haha... l mean the MSR-16 Have had three different Xmas with different family across the country. Apologies for typos in this thread :) The downside to the wiring is the fulltime job and 1 year old. Wish Santa had just brought me a fully operational home studio!!

OK I'll go the bulk cable route and update the thread when I can test the M3500 with either mixer. I really appreciate your input.

Yeah I've had a 1/5 DBX that I've rejiggered at least eight times in all the different rooms through the years. This is also in the thread, but the real bummer is after spending 30K to reno the garage and another 8 on treatment, I found out it costs 26 dollars PER cable to patch the back of a...

But as I said earlier in this thread, the pipedream with the M3500/MSR and my new space (which is a dedicated recording room) is to be able to leave things plug and play. I'm sick and tired of patching and getting down on hands and knees to get behind things.

Couldn't agree more my man. My fav combo is actually a TL Audio Fat Track (summing and two channels) and my Otari MX5050

Sorry, LX7 Seems like it can do the job well and at the right price. Anyone with experience?

The MSR-16S and M3500 didn't cost that much when I got them together. I had read somewhere that getting a new PSU significantly lowers the noise floor of the M3500. It was my mistake to think that many were available beyond GRS. But I do believe GRS will deliver in time. I have so many...

Thanks both of you, Miroslav you are an example of why this forum is such a greater resource than Gearslutz. Its true that the M3500 I got in package deal with the tape machine may not even work, but I trust the seller. I met him in person and we had tea before we sis the deal. Sadly, I left...

The story with GRS is way to complicated to get into. They have been in and out of communication. The first order was in a forklift incident (at least that's what their shipping co said) the second was sent to the Philippines... again you can't make this stuff up. I could tell you stories to...
