I will be going with a computer based mixing/recording system when I
upgrade here shortly. I'll be replacing traditional analog components.
With the current computing power available, it can be done without the
traditional mixing/recording hardware. MOTU's 828 is a FireWire digital
audio hard disk recording system that provides ADC/DAC. The MIDI
Timepiece AV (USB) handles Midi synchronization and is also a Midi
patchbay and merger. Digital performer (MOTU) running on a new Mac G4
with the Midi Timepiece and the 828 will set you back about $4-5K. The
only major question is if you can handle the interface to the mixing
component being through the computer interface. No more mixing desk,
unless you pop extra $ for a control surface.
See it all at: www.motu.com/index.html
Nope, don't work for 'em, just like their stuff.
Good luck,
Scott
