My drummer has decided to throw down with me on getting some recording gear. So my options for future spendage has increased x2
! The MOTU 24i seems awsome 24 analog inputs! WOW! but only 2 outputs
! I'm afraid that setting up headphone mixes would be a total nightmare! And I love being able to monitor exactly what is going into the recorder. It seems I would really have to have a VERY large mixer to take advantage of it.
then there's the Delta...
8 in 8 out, 2 spdif (I would get two so 16 x 16 and x4 spdif) It seems a little more flexable having more outs, plus it's 96K, (if I ever wanted it) And having more Spdif options is a plus... and it would be about $200 cheaper. hmm... but expadability with the MOTU is a definite Plus...
but I think the inputs on the MOTU are balanced only, which is not good, I'd be recording from insert outs mostly... the bal/unbal switches on the 1010 would be very usefull... Plus I could get one sooner, and the second 1010 later...
damn... I love these decisions. I have until March to decide, He will be gone all of Feburary (trucking school nonetheless!) then we're going halfsies on a 16 channel mixer and soundcard, and I will be expanding the mic cabinet and upgrading the computer in the mean time...
and after that, we're gonna build! heh. I'm obsessed, I've started working on a scale model of the studio already, but realistically it'll be next year before we really start... for now these bare aluminum walls will have to do. It's really cold in here... What will produce the most heat? the MOTU or the Delta?
