my mind's completely boggled at the moment, through staring at other things! so i don't think i'm gonna make sense, i should have definitely stayed away from this thread anyway :) yep, i did indeed mean bit depth... ok, you have a frequency/rate at which you sample something, and then you need...

how does the number of times a second you sample something effect the magnitude of what you can sample anyway? i thought that was stored in the bit rate... just shows what i know :o

Just been reading the CueMix documentation for the 828mkII... The 828mkII supports up to four separate stereo monitor mixes assigned to any four digital or analog output pairs But if the device has 8 Analogue outs and a single 8 Channel ADAT out (16 channels, 8 output pairs), if you can only...

Yeah it's tricky, and I'm only trying for record a 4 piece band live :) So that's 8 Mics (4 around the drums, 1 lead vocal and 3 backing vocals) and 8 Line Instrument inputs (direct bass, emulated guitars, stereo keyboards and stereo fx)... all linking via lightpipe to a HD24. The closest...

Thanks for the confirmation on the number of pres on the FF800 Although the MOTU 896 only has 8 ADAT channels out (need 16) and the Saffire Pro/Firestudio has 8 Mic/Instrument Pres where I need 8 Mic inputs and 8 Instrument inputs Thanks for the help so far

OK, I'll love what you say to be true... but this is a quote from RME's website The extra TRS connections on input channels 7-10 expects Line level inputs, and not Microphone level inputs. I know you can plug a Mic with a TRS connection into a line level socket, adjust the gain and 'it...

Cool, I didn't know about the Digimax FS. Although thinking of cost, is that system giving me 16 Class A Preamps where I only really need 8? Albeit I need gain control on the other 8 Line level inputs? I'm assuming here the amp needed to boost a mic level signal is more expensive than that...

OK, I'm looking for an interface for live recording with 8 Mic Pres and 8 Line Level Instrument Inputs, and at least 8 Analogue outs... and importantly 16 channels of ADAT out to fed a HD24. Firewire or PCI (for home use) but it needs to be able to function in standalone mode for live use...

Cheers, I feel like an expert already :)

Cool. OK I'm now wondering if you still have to set one as the master and the rest as slaves to the sync codes or do they all work that stuff out between them?

OK, I'm thinking of linking up a Motu 8Pre, Moto 828Mkii and an HD24 using ADAT cables (without a computer in site) and I'm looking at all the ADAT Syncing/Word Clock connections on the devices... do I need to know anything about these or are they for syncing to older tape based ADAT devices...

Cool, the 828mkii looks good as a standalone mixer and good that it can see the 8Pre in standalone mode as well. Do you also know what the 8Pre sends to the Main L/R out when in standalone mode? As I was thinking of hooking up an 828 and an 8Pre to a HD24 as follows: 828 > HD24 (ADAT) 8Pre >...

Was just wondering what is sent to the Main L/R out of the 8Pre if it was working in standalone mode (in conjuction with an 828 mkii via ADAT) I assume with the PC software you can create any mix for the Main L/R out, but what happens in standalone mode? Also, is the standalone mixer of the...

all you guys have compressed air cans over there... no matter what job, out it comes! don't think i've ever seen one :confused:

Cool, hope we haven't confused you too much with our comments! I also get the impression your backline is a lot louder than our front of house :) btw i always use musician ear plugs when pratising and listening to other bands as i had terrible hearing problems last year and therefore...

I was in the same position as you a couple of years ago and was going to buy a pair of SRM 450s based entirely on reviews on the web, but as I walked into the shop with my money in my hand, a pair were being demonstrated... this is purely subjective but I consider them DJ speakers, they were...

Agree with everything above, I used to use a single Peavey KBA300... two men to lift it, very loud and everything but once you put a piano, strings, pads etc through a quality stereo PA you never look back. For me a keyboard amp is like getting a massage with a house brick. Guitars are designed...

Good point, I remember looking when I first had the mixer, the output spec for the Inserts state "0dB (0.775 V)" kinda in-between the consumer and pro levels? If the HD24 is set to receive at +4dBu and I've set the gains on the mixer channels to peak at 0dBVU.. then I'm sending a slightly...

Thanks for the reply tnjazz, I'll try and explain what I'm trying to do! Currently using a mixer connected to the HD24 using 16 insert cables, and ideally would like to get rid of the large mixer/heavy flight box and just use a couple of rack units to feed the recorder via ADAT Nice, but...

Thanks Tim, you've swayed me back to my original idea! I'm undecided again now :)
