Deej...I admire your persistance with DAWs, but after doing tons of homework,
actual research, etc...I have come to the conclusion that the best DAW is
the DAW that does not rely on ASIO or 'zero latency' for monitoring...
I have been in the process for a couple of days rearranging everything (again)
and re-installing my Soundtracs console...this way, I have all the analog
pres, comps, EQs, etc I want with true zero latency...Die hard that I am,
I have yet to encounter any latency when using a console for tracking...kind
of backwards from the way most people use them, but hey, I've got 32 channels
on one board, 18 on another, and 8 on the 3rd...
FWIW the most recent TapeOp mag/rag has a real world review of the Mac only
Apogee/Symphony setup and Logic...but its a Mac ...

I'm with Wireline. While there are ways to use ASIO direct and even low
latency monitoring, as a onetime pro studio owner I have the mindset
that managing the flows in the studio should be as simple and central as
possible for the sake of speed and flexibility. A console does that and
offers the pres, eqs and studio routing infrastructure that makes life
comfortable so you can concentrate on the music and the people, which
will get better end results than managing routing of signals.
I don't mind whether digital or analog, they each have pluses and
minuses, IMHO, though I would probably go for a good digital console as
the price to quality ratio is much higher with a DM2000 than an analog
board, which would necessarily be pretty old at that price and quality
level.

Maybe if we keep poking him, he'll finally bite on a DM2K... ;-)

My Furman HDS16 gives me the flexibility of a console for cue mixes.
Everything else is pretty well laid out and easy to manage. I don't need the
preamps. What would a DM2000 cost with interconnectivity for3 x RME HDSP
9652's, an RME Multiface, 2 RME ADI8-DS, and 9 x stereo/18 mono Channels of
AES switchable to coax or optical S/Pdif?

yep, I came to that conclusion 3 years ago and have not looked back. Unless
you''re running Paris aor Pro Tools HD, then you need a (digtal or analog)
mixer.

HI DJ,
Less than analog console.
The DM2000 VCM has 6 expansion slots with the right combination of
expansion cards you can have up to 96 channels of I/O A48k or 48 chs @
96k. You can mix most any of th exp cards they have so you can replicate
the current I/O needs you have now. If you want to bypass their analog
I/O you can easily hookup your ADI8DS to use with any analog effects or
Mic-Pres if needed.
You can at some point replace all or some of those RME cards with a
single Madi and make the routing allot easier. Yamaha is supposedly
working on their own MY-Madi card but it won't be out for awhile. The
3rd party one is stupid expensive for no reason. Now that we are
building the recording systems for Yamaha Commercial Audio we get to be
dealers. :)

Hmmm...
At the risk of being very unpopular, the Dm2000, while an asTOUNDING board,
is discontinued last I heard...and as with all things digital, once discontinued,
lack of any support whatsoever is not far behind...I would think very hard
about the DM2000 (even though I really was amazed at just how good it sounds)
or even a Sony RMX100...
That said, none of my boards are current production models, even the companies
have changed hands drastically or are out of the pro audio biz...but parts
are readily available, and there are no digital issues, software, etc to
be concerned about.
Last FWIW: Otari made a really handy board - had no preamps, just tape returns,
auxes out the wazoo, sources I trust say the EQ was a silent miracle, and
(get this) 48 channels of Eagle automation....
Just an FYI

HI Bill,
Yes if just using the little screen. Using the Studio manager software
makes it about easy as using a DAW.

Yeah what chris said..Also, I'm really considering (2) Tascams Dm4800 these
are under 5k and the layout is fabulous!!
DJ, my friend I know you have the furman thing, but a mixer, any mixer will
make your life easier..

Chris,
I took a look at their site and they do show the DM series as
discontinued. Are the new ones basically the same, but with a s/w update?
I also saw some new smaller digital mixers that look kinda cool, w/ more
dedicated knobs than most small format digital mixers have. Know
anything about those?

HI Bill,
Yes AFAIK the only major update is the DSP increase and the quality and
number of effects. I think also the mixers software has more routing
options but haven't A/Bed it with an old one yet.
Which of the smaller ones? The 01v96v2 and o2r96v2 or the DM1000v2? I
think the o1v96 is the only one currently that has a chance to be
discontinued. But normally they just replace and upgrade. That ones
feature set is getting long in th e tooth.

Well heck, if it's discontinued, it's right up my alley. It can replace my
discontinued Steinberg Houston.and interface with my *soon to be*
discontinued RME HDSP 9652's.
I'm starting to feel right at home again. I picked up a Demeter VTCL the
other day. Went to their site to DL a manual and guess what???........yep,
it's now *vintage*. It will feel right at home here in the *Studio Of The
Living Dead*.

Hi Lamont,
Yes the Tascam would be good possibilities too. I tend not to recommend
thing because too many bad experiences with the company from a dealer
stand point and from a warranty and tech support stand point. But in
general the higher end stuff tends to be good from them.

Chris, I know that i'm spliting hairs, but one of the things that bugs me
about the DM2K VCM is to use the new VCM effecs, yu give up the 8 dsp (FX)
processors..Meaning , I can't have those new comps and eqs on every channel
in place of the stock EQ and comp..
I wish they would mak a new version that replaces the on-board eqs and comps.
They are not bad..
I agree with you about tascams service, that's why I've waited till they
worked most of the bugs out of the DM3200/4800.. They've seem to really be
behind this product. Back in 2000. I enjoyed the sound of the then DM24 even
over the 02..
To my ears, the Tascams mixers converters have more low end balls. The eqs
and comps work and the pres are nice..Ergonomicaly, the layout of the 3200
& 4800 are just what this industry have been asking for..witha price piint
that's tailor made for the mid-pro market...

DJ,
I love that thing Deej. I have serial number 0026 as I recall.
It is very transparent as far as tube gear goes. Glues submixes
together in a luscious way. Try guitars or vocals. Nice.
James is really easy to talk to regarding his gear too.

If I was going to spend $5k on a console (isn't that what youse
guys said these things were going for?), I would hunt down a
Trident Series-24, either a 24 or 32-channel version. They can
be had for that kind of price range.
Digital mixing, I can already get that ITB - I wouldn't need to
spend another $5k on it.

Hi DJ,
The 9652's are not being discontinued. They are putting out a PCI-E
version. The DM2k was replaced not discontinued. :)
I think your new Indian name will be Johnny Darkcloud. :)

ITB. I hear ya.. But, to my ears, the best ITB mixers (DAWS) are Paris #1..Logic
Audio #2..Digital Perfomer #3...Nuendo/Cubase..#4...Pro Tools ..#5.. Sonar
..#6.
I'm listening to your mixes and if that's in the box form Cubase..Whew!!
we!!!... Nice!!
The Trident..Yes!! Excellen choice.

This VTCL is SN 0010. My VTMP is so old it doesn't even have a SN. It =

DJ,
I love that thing Deej. I have serial number 0026 as I recall.
It is very transparent as far as tube gear goes. Glues submixes
together in a luscious way. Try guitars or vocals. Nice.
James is really easy to talk to regarding his gear too.

I tend to trust Fletcher's judgment when it comes to audio gear (probably we
like and use a lot of the same words and expressions ;o), but he's
affiliated with Mercenary only as a "consultant" these days. Not sure if
"consultant" means that the guy who is running the show there "consults"
with him and then goes ahead and does what he damn well pleases or not, even
if Fletcher gives it a thumbs down. I sorta' doubt it. Fletcher seems to be
a bit like SSC in some ways in that it doesn't appear that his opinion can
be "bought" and so perhaps he wouldn't be a "consultant" to Mercenary if he
thought they were pimping crap.
Anyway.........as long as it took Mr. Toft to release this for retail sale
(it think it was something like 3 or 4 years), I'd think that some care was
taken to give it the mojo that he's known to impart to his circuitry.
;o)

Neil, I had a DM24 and I did not use it to mix, I used it for inputs and
monitoring and studio infrastructure and as a digital patchbay.

Yamaha have a new N Series of mixers that seem to be in the 01v range.
The page seems to be down at the moment on their site but I was looking
at them yesterday and they looked pretty cool.
