hi!
can anybody recomend a 8-chanel pre with ADAT outs?
something like the "PreSonus DigiMAX LT"
just to add more inputs to my digi 001

Thanx
 
I have and use a Focusrite octopre with the ADAT card which pipes it in to an MOTU 828 mk II. It is pretty sweet. The compressor / limiters are very twitchy and need a gentle hand to get right other than that it is sweet !
 
i'd bet the m-audio octane is about the best bang per buck.
 
thanx, i think the m-audio would be the best because its made by the same people of pro tools, so that means compatibility.... right?
how about the sound?

Not made. you can run m-audio interfaces with pro tools m-powered only- along with any other softwares that accepts ASIO. pro tools is made by digi design.
 
Honestly, the behringer ADA8000 is a great unit for a cheap price. I highly recommend it.

are you talking about preamps or interface? if you're talking about preamp, then compatibility with pro tools don't matter.
 
Damn, dont you guys read the question before answering? I mean It was clear to me what he asked :rolleyes: and yeah the Octane will work....
 
I woudl suggest looking into A/D conversion with ADAT support, that way you can mix and match whatever outboard you want. The Behringer AD8000 would do the hob here, and you could use any preamp you want.

Maybe a few more bucks up front, but worth it in my opinion for the flexibilty in choosing a preamp.

Incredibly clean, tons of headroom, built-in MS encoder, light pipe out, mic/instrument inputs. I love mine.
 
I recently picked up a Mackie Onyx 800R. I REALLY like this unit. Very clean with a bit of Brit presence and gallons of head room (AKA, your drums aren't going to poop this unit out.).
