Regarding the Onyx, if you get the Firewire option, is that pre- or post-eq/sends/inserts?
I've had an alesis desk in my studio. We recorded our first album on it and sounded good, but minimal features.
I just bought the toft ATB console... Pricey, but it's superb... sound, features, everything on this console is great (Although I only have the alesis to compare it with)... this is a quality desk.
Running it with a pair of delta1010 cards, cubase studio 4, rack of good pre's & comps and some decent (not great) mics.
If you can get the cash together then I'm sure you won't regret this buy.
Just wondering what is the most popular analog mixer out there.
Analog....firewire, spdif....hmmmm
I have an old AKAI MG1214 with built in 12 track tape deck. The deck unfortunately did not work, and I have not yet had a chance to get it serviced. The preamps are great though, I record most of my guitars and drums through it, but unfortunately it does not have phantom power so have to use other gear to run some mics. I've used a Mackie 8bus, can't remember the model, but it was a good unit aside from the 'ghosts in the machine', it would start doing unprogrammed fader moves all on its own, though only very rarely. I would have to say from my experiences I would like a Mackie board; if the money was no object, an SSL.
