I can get a new Octane for $350 and have been trying to research it for the last few days. Everyone talks about the DMP3... not too much discussion about the Octane.
On this forum some say it's not quite as good as the DMP3 and it lacks gain... on all the other Forums I checked out (Harmony Central, Studio Forums, Gearslutz, Recording Newsgroups, Future Producers ect... I've done some reading) they say it's the same preamp as the DMP3.
So which is it?
This would be such a quick and inexpensive way to get 8 more Ins. I have a Layla24 w/ 4 Sytek Pres and 4 Soundcraft Spirit Pres. I've thought about getting another used Layla24 and 3 or 4 DMP3s for 8 more INs... but $350 and 1 box seems like a no brainer. I don't really want less than a DMP3 in sound quality though. The M/S stereo would be cool too.
Thanks,
B.
