Hey guys --
so I made the plunge, sold my Roland VM3100Pro digital mixer and an RME 9636 Light ADAT card is on its way to me.
Next decision: which digital mixer should I get? My spending limit is $800.-
I thought about either a Yamaha 01V or the Behringer DDX3216 with ADAT cards. Both units are around $600.- on Ebay, including the ADAT expansion card. I guess all the other "high-end" units (like the Yamaha 01V96, Tascam DM24) are out of my price range.
I am aware that Behringer is not exactly know for its quality, but the features of the DDX3216 are amazing: a real 32ch interface with 100mm motorized faders, and 32bit internal resolution. The Yamaha is similiar in terms of features, but only sports 20bit resolution. Also, the Yamaha 01V came out in 1998 (Behringer: 2002), which seems kinda old to me for a digital unit, given how fast the digital electronic evolves.
Any advice which route I should go? Would having an external AD/DA converter and an analog mixer give me a cleaner signal path??
Thanks for your help!
