I need advice. I am interested in acquiring an 8 track recorder and do not know where to start. Here is what is important to me:

Dynaudio Acoustics Brings New Active Nearfield to the BM Series

Which one in you guys' opinion is better for a beginner, and gives overall better sound quality.. I'm a beginner, and i've just gotten both programs, yet I haven't experimented yet, so which one program would you say is better and why? I'd appreiciate it.

As I am looking to upgrade ASAP I am amending an earlier post/thread w/ hopes of getting more responses. I hope this doesn't violate any rules on this cool site.

The crux of my inquirery is:

I just started working with a client who recorded his project on ADATs at another studio. When transferring his tracks to my Pro Tools system, he wasn't sure of the sample rate. He thought it was 44.1, and on playback, said it sounded right. Now he says it is slow.

I have yet to read a review on these new mixers, just wondering if they live up to the often misleading Mackie marketing hype? The look good, the price is right, and it's been years coming for a new design. Looking at the A&H MixWizard but willing to give the Onyx a shot, still too fresh on the market I guess?

I have the boss-864 and a Mackie dfx 12. I need help on how to get good drum settings, and sound. Levels, volumes,input,fx,etc. I like low punchy bass drums, and deep toms, and a semi bright snare. I claose mic all drums too. Help me!1

Is it any good ? is it really worth the $2000 they are asking for 40 hours ? I know they are a really respectable studio down in Tampa Florida and I have heard their work and its absolutle awsome. I need feedback, thanks. Heres the link:

Im on my way to purchase two unit for my studio as channel strips, I was wondering if they could be used as effective mastering tools ? If not what product within that price range could I purchase to master songs. Anything from Manley ? Thanks a lot in advanced!
