Hello,
I tend to pride myself in my research skills but this is one time I may have made a boo boo. Lemme tell you my setup to begin with. Mac G3 (2 free PCI slots), Cubase VST, Akai S2000 (8 out + DI/O), MC303 groovebox (to be replaced by Virus Rack and JV I'm thinkin')
So, I decided that my Tascam M-08 lacked inputs and I've been deciding on effects. I assumed that, since I used my computer as a multitrack recorder, I could somehow steal the TM-D1000 channels 9-16 with some sort of preamp. Well, I can, but the 8 channel Tascam Pre-Amp will bring my price up Higher than a Mackie CFX16.
So why am I asking this in the Computer forum you ask? I rock mostly beats and jungle and have been using Cubase solely in the past as a midi controller or for large samples that I want to add effects to. Since most of my equipment is external to the computer, do y'all think I should:
A) Get a 16 channel mixer like the MackieCFX16 and continue working the way I have in the past.
OR
B) Keep the TM-D1000 and figure out some sort of TDIF marriage between Cubase (PCI card?) and the mixer?
Also, It looks as though both the mixer and cubase are set up to SEND MMC but not to receive... Apologies for the long post but I'd really like to upgrade my 'studio' and get going again.
Thanks in advance, Miro
