I've seen some tasty recordings made with Mackie VLZ pres... one can get lost diddling with gear and forget the point is recording the music.

I passed on the Crest XR20, too much $$$ for my non-co ...

I was looking hard at the Onyx 1640 until I found out it has no Group inserts. So, I started looking at the Crest XR20 instead.

It is my understanding the Mackie preamps aren't half bad, pretty ne ...

Download my spreadsheet from my signature. Find the MICS tab, sort by the Noise db-A column.

Which make gets the nod for sturdy construction and lack of "ongoing maintenance"?

How about the A&H Mixwizard series?

I'd like to see opinons also, but also on the sturdiness and frequency of repair. These are two big points for me. I don't like stuff that breaks or consta ...

You mention Sonar 2XL, but say nothing about having the patches installed, to bring it up to v2.2XL. They release patches for a good reason (read: bug fixes).
