I'm also curious about adding a good front-end to my 001 setup. I've been eyeing the Focusrite Platinum range of outboard, reading nothing but great reviews.
Problem is, I'm not sure which to get, as they all have redundant features but marketed for a specific task.
I would love to have a way to track my synth into it before it hits the 001, in order to warm it up a little, so I need a two input unit, right? Most of these only have a mono input for instruments.
(If there's a way around this, I'd love to know, I'm not the quickest when it comes to routing)
I'd also use it for recording bass and vocals.
Between the Penta, TrakMaster, ToneFactory, VoiceMaster, any idea which one is the best all-around?
thanks everyone,
pk
