MIDI problem.

I've been using my current set up for about 2 1/2 years no problem. Today went to record some vsti's...strange thing happened. .In nuendo while playing my part on the midi controller it would intermittently change programs. I recorded a couple bars in nuendo and pulled up the key editor. I looked to see and it did record program change information on a continus bases.

Sell my Beta52a to buy an Audix D6?

I don't really like my Beta52a that much. I've tried every last bass drum...tuned, un-tuned, DW, Tama, Pearl. everything I can get my hands on and I can't get a decent kick drum sound coming into the board. My room live room and control room are both decent, my monitors are good, I think I can finally blame it on the mic or the pre's. Everything other than my kicks sound at least decent.

Breakout Box or Mixer/preamp?

Hi this is my first time post and after spending all day on the forum I've developed a quest. I appreciate any advice/comments.

On extremely tight budget (~400$) and was considering getting a recording unit like the Echo Gina 3G for recording guitars and mikes into my mix. I've also looked at other similar items ie Digidesign and Edirol products.
