Alright, here's the deal:
I'm thinking of upgrading from my Aardvark 24/96. Its been great, really... it would be nice to have some more inputs, however.
Also, I was interested in using the Soundcraft M12 mixer. This would give me plenty of channels (12 mono, 4 stereo), preamps that have been described as at least 'comparable' to the aardvarks (not to mention that 'british eq' wee), and would work both in 'the studio' (thats a laugh) and for live gigs.
Now here's the problem: Getting the mixer is all fine and dandy but I would need convertors (i usually think of these 'minor details' after i take the plunge haha).
There is no way I would be ABLE to buy lucid or apogee convertors (let alone JUSTIFY spending that much money)... the problem is that I'd need at least 8 channels of conversion bliss which runs up the bill quite nicely.
So heres the question (i know youve been waiting for it):
Do convertors exist between the Lucid quality and the Behringer quality that aren't in all in one soundcard units? I really havent heard much about them on this board at least. In my searches I've heard: Behringer! Lucid! Apogee!
Honestly, I probably wouldn't mind all that much even just using a q10 for its convertors because I haven't been dissatisfied. It would be nice to take a step up in the convertor world though (even a baby step) and buying a q10 just doesnt make sense! Why would I pay for the preamps and all those things I dont need when I just need convertors? Basically, are there convertors for about the price of a q10 that would be worth getting?
What are the convertors that are below, say... lucid? any recommendations? (i was thinking lynx for awhile but they dont have enough io)
thankyou for listening.
...at the end of the day i might just go the q10 route lol... but it really would be nice to have a mixer.
