I use a TASCAM 2488 to record and mix...then bring the 2 track stereo master into Wavelab for all the final goodies. It's done by USB there's no D/A A/D conversion.

I had one for a while, but found I was using the mouse more and more and the board less and less, so I sold it. But sounds like it might be perfect for your situation.
Eccentrica said:this is kind of a double edge sword I got nothing against old school analouge knobs and switches but I love my salvaged tascam US2400 daw controller i tend to find though my digital kit (whats left of it) to be more reliable and not as tempramental as analouge kit, plus i really cant be doing with baking tape reels (a whole other story for a later date lol) it's a compromise between human connectivity with technological advancement.

Projbalance said:Perhaps it's with the software interfaces you have to do too much thinking about things that arent important. You can't just close your eyes, listen and let your hands wander the controls to find a sound.
I think that's an excellent point, something I've never heard anyone articulate. At AES, a panel of industry legends were talking about the importance of ergonomics in console design, and how your hands just know where to go on a well designed desk. Going to a control surface helped get that back a little bit for me, but it's still not the same thing. It's almost the difference between touching the sound and touching things that manipulate things that manipulates the sound.
I WANT MY AMEK CONSOLE BACK!!!
But then, there's some things gained for some things lost.
