So you want a system with the following:

A hardware interface with lot of analog I/Os, at least 24 to 32 at 24bit
96k

24 to 32 digital I/O at at least 24bit 96k

A control surface with at least 24 faders, to control your favorite DAW software.

you want this to integrate with your PC or Mac.

On board DSP with FX processing.

You want near zero latency.

you want it to look impressive.

You want it for 5 to 6K, right?

It exist, but it has some drawbacks. You won't like the form factor, or
the manufacturer. It has fixed algorithms and the DSP is not upgradeable,
although you can always use the other manufactures DSP cards for plugins.
For the money it's a hell of a buy and it covers most of the bases.






















Here it is!

This is the midrange system. This board, your favorite DAW software, out
board gear, some DSP cards, and you've got a great midrange system under
ten grand. I've heard stuff recorded with these and I've got to say it sounded
vary good!

I think it's the best bang for the buck right now.

The Other day, I was just recomending the mixer/Cuabse as a really, really
good setup.

Tascam has really doen a great job with their digital mixers. Sound wise,
I have to say that they have more of a "Pleasing " sonic foot-print than
the yamha's DM2000 (Which I love)..
The verbs (TC0 are wonderful as are the Eqs and Comps. Last year, tascams
have virtually goten rid of every Bug they had with thier Firewire Interface..Tottaly
cool!! 32 in/32 out via Firewire!! Amazing..
Then to add insult to injury, they include Cascading..!! Drop into and Argosy..Boom..
http://www.argosyconsole.com/dm4800.htm
Nice unit, for a nice price..

so open James' first post on this, then take your little mouse in your hand
and put your thumb on the scroll wheel and roll it backwards, all the way
until you don't see any more test......then keep rolling it until you get to
the bottom of his post.

;o)

Very tempting - but does anyone know how well does it integrates with Cubase
3sx or 4? How good are the converters? Besides 8 more faders, what does it
do that the DM-3200 doesn't?.... or is basically the same beast, just larger?

Thanks-
Jon

Jon,

I'm interested in the 3200 myself, probably sometime late to mid this year.
Lamont, let us know :-) ESPECIALLY about the onboard effects...

thanks but my scroll wheel is used by another finger...you know...the
one that signifies you're #1.
