Would like to use my new mixing console with the Tascam 788 but I guess there is a problem. While there are six analog inputs to the 788 it is an issue in that four of the inputs have a gain stage (the aux input I assume is just unity gain buffered). SO there is a lot of talk about losing quality with the Mic pre's of the board stacked with the preamps of the 788 (even with the gain set to line). How are others dealing with this? .
On another note, being able to do the mixdown with the board is also cumbersome since you have to play a few games to get the six analog outputs to represent the six track (four of them pre-fader, the last two - stereo are post fader ).
I realize that the ideal solution is to get a different HD recorder like some of the higher end tascams, but like everyone else, I am a little straped for cash.
So how is anyone else dealing with this at this point.
