My band has a Mackie VLZ mixer. We want a firewire recording solution, and the question is, should we record through the mixer into a MOTU 828 (which only has 2 mic preamps and goes for about $700), or get a MOTU 896 (which has 8 mic pres and goes for about $1200) and record without the mixer.
So one question is the quality of the VLZ mic pres vs the MOTU mic pres. Another is the impact of having the mackie in the signal chain vs. the flexibility of using the Mackie for setting levels etc.
Any advice? thanks!
