I have a digital 8bus mackie. I hate the way it sounds. I know the Yamaha dm200 has great features but how does it sound. The Mackie does not have clarity imaging or punch. lifeless another words.
I am trying to choose between going for a better digital console or going out of my computer into a Dangerous 2-bus.

which will make this sounds better more proffesional.
I dont want to upgrade just so I have to go mixat a SSL or Neve studio. I want to mix on one of these setups.
thanks
