I love this board. But, I only love it because of it's front end capabilities. I only use it to get stuff into the computer as information, with no intention to take it back out. I'll also plug some MIDI gear into the line inputs as well. The board is a 16 channel, 4 buss/aux send mixer with built in efx and very limitless routing capabilities. It has a lot of inputs. 12 analog line-(8 line ins and 4 ext ins) -10 are balanced. It has 4 mic ins with +- 48 V. It has 8 direct outs via T/DIF, and has 4 busses. There are like 16 line outputs I think. 8 buss outs (4 balanced, 4 unbalanced), 4 stereo outs (2 balanced, 2 unbalanced), 2 balanced monitor outs, and the main bus outs. Yeah, that's 16. It also has 4 inserts. Now, all of these analog inputs is not why I bought this board. The digital IO caught my attention. For inputs it has a S/Pdif in a Word clock In (RCA), and an AES/EBU input. There is also a T/Dif connector which is 8 IO on a D sub 24 Connector wired funny. For outputs it has 2 S/P Dif outs, 2 AES/EBU outs a word clock out (RCA). All told, this has 12 digital inputs, and 16 digital outputs. EVERY SINGLE JACK ON THIS THING CAN BE USED AT THE SAME TIME!!! There is also tons or routing possibilities that should definitely adapt to the way you work. This board will clock of any digital input, or it's own, and handles the clock well. It also has internal effects, which are OK, but work great for 'tracking' verbs and delays. (If the guitar player NEEDS a delay, and you're running low on DSP in the COMP). The board itself sounds decent. It's not a Neve, but it doesn't color the sound or change it at all. It is upto 48/24, and has 128 snapshots, and tons of space for user presets on efx. All snapshots are extractable as sys ex, as are the presets. If you are more of the analog type of guy, go with a mackie. (sounds like youre in the 500 price range) Mackies have a lot of I/O on them as well. If however, you are using a DAW more most of your work, the TMD 1000 is great.
