Hey Everyone! I'm new here and I am getting my equipment ready for a studio. I have picked up a very well taken care of Studiolive 32ai at a good buy I think, and I am getting ready to have a computer built. I am an analog guy and really just got the presonus unit for its preamps, 32 ch phantom power, and D/A converters. My plan is to get a good analog board and to combine the two for initial recording. I really like the tactile feel and speed of an analog board (not to mention sound/warmth) and for patching in outboard gear for laying down tracks. My flow path would be 32AI preamps/ post preamp on analog board (if I like the 32ai pre's better)/back to 32ai for conversion. I would just go through the Presonus board post converters flat. What do I need to watch out for with this type of configuration? Also, I know the 32AI is older and has been replaced with a newer version. Will this be compatible with the op system for a new computer and if I upgrade to StudioOne v5? Thanks!
