I agree, the days of the console are very numbered...To the best of my knowledge,
exactly 100% of the audio world has seen the proverbial writing on the wall...and
with technology doublilng every 3-5 years, digital consoles are obsolete
the moment they are released...sure, there are still a few big board users,
but each year those numbers drop significantly, and the boards are either
stripped for parts or decommissioned and stored...
I can't say the Yamaha/Steinberg cooperative is gonna do anyone any good
in the long run...its as if the two have throw their hands up in tandem and
surrendered to PTHD...I haven't heard ANYTHING regarding Nuendo in literally
months...all the while SSL and Soundscape seem poised to give Digi a run
for the money, but with ProTools sessions being the ennumerated standard
for AES protocols now, it almost seems hopeless for any other format or company...
But there again, when 99% of any audio app's user base is more concerned
with fake drums, putting everything on the grid, and having mp3 as the final
delivery format, we all get what we derserve...
Sorry to vent. (no, I'm not...but apologies are polite :) )

It goes down to 128 samples, but it's a moot point. I don't have a
screaming fast machine, but from my experience unless you have an empty
project you can't get any interface fast enough for professional
recording (I mean really playing something, not just a pad or a string
line).
For recording VSTis I use 2 computers. I have the main one with the
whole song on it, set at a high latency, and a I set up a second one
with just the individual VSTi active, set at low latency, and while I
record the midi data on the main one, I monitor the output from the
second one. For playback the main one takes over. I use a mixer of course.
This system works brilliantly and I never have to stress over latencies.
I hate doing things that in any way make a client or visiting musician
uncomfortable or inconvenienced. This is probably a hold over from
running for-hire studios. I don't like anything that unnecessarily draws
the artists attention onto the recording process, and any noticeable
latency certainly does that.
So, the latency of MLan is not an issue to me.

OK, we get it: you love the DM2K! Get a room, dude!
I actually had a DM1K at my studio for a while but I was so busy at the
time I only took it out of the flight case. I wish I had spent a little
time listening to it.
I wasn't expecting these little mixers to replace the DM series, but
I've been hoping we would see some synergistic products resulting from
the union of the 2 companies. Both have been revolutionary leaders in
the past, so there is hope of some interesting shit happening.

Yep.. I have my yearly rant about no other companies stepping up to theplate
to give Digi a run.
People have been speculating about Apple's new DAW could be that product.
We'll have to see.
As for Steingberg and Yamaha...Major dissapointment. Those new little NV
whatever mixers/interfaces are not what has bben asked for bythe public.
Then there are the Euphonix crowd. Very nice interface, but you';re gonna
shell out 25k and over...Still cheaper than the SSL AW9000 and the Digi ICons..
Edmund...Where are you..

I think that Yamaha is hitting the largest percentage of the current
market with this product... the home recordist. Not everyone needs
100 channels with insane routing and monstrous DSP capability. Be
patient, good things WILL come from the merger of Yamaha and
Steinberg. Face it, the larger studios are dropping like flies, would
you invest R&D money to provide products for a shrinking market?
There will be some products from Yamaha that will bridge the gap
between the DM2K and the N Series offerings. I also anticipate a
large step up from the DM2K being offered within the next two years.
Add that to the current integration of the Yamaha mixers with CU/NU
and I think you will have a system that will steal a good portion of
Digi's business.
Let's face it though, unless Avid/Digi does something astronomically
stupid, people are not going to walk away from "the standard", no
matter what it sounds like.
