What a challenge.
Im simple, I like old school play rewind fast forward record
push the button and go
Ive had tape machines, Adats, HD 24, and now using the Behringer X Touch with 2 Extenders to have 24 tracks of control.
Its a studio in my home, mostly for my projects.
I find I havent been using the X touch at all, other than play and record.

Hello all my first post here :D Im new to recordings though i have used pro studios many times for the bands that i have played in myself, i no longer have the time to travel to studios but still want to record new material, i would like to produce something of a decent standard if at all possible using a portastudio ! are there any machines worth buying ?

I typically use 48kHz for larger track count projects, and 96kHz for smaller track count projects. Just curious what rates most people are using.

Hello!

If we wanted to setup our Alesis HD24 on it's own mixer...what would you recommend? At this time, we only need the mixer to set gain and levels going to the recorder. After that, we'll dump all the data to a computer.

I have recently aquired a Tascam 24 track set up. the gear is an m3700 desk, a msr 24s analog tape machine and a rack with looms and a bantam jackfield with a Tascam headphone amp rack. I haven't plugged it all in yet to see what its running order is yet, and I haven't any manuals for any of the gear. The desk would be useful. I also got 4 new Ampex 456 reels and about 15 used ones.

hi
along the lines of the apogee/lynx debate

what would you recommend for 24 i/o balanced->daw
aside from the MOTU 24 i/o

3000$ price range

is the Alesis HD24 even worth considering?
transfering via ethernet,...

Can anybody give me their opinion of the MOTU 242i digital recording system. I am currently looking at purchasing one via ebay and would like to get the low down from anybody who has actually used one.

I'm looking for a decent analog 24 track mixer to hook to my MOTU 24io. I'm using it in conjunction with Cubase sx to do small projects, but I'd like the ability to use all 24 tracks eventually. I've heard Tascam makes a good 24 track board (m2600, m3500, m3700?), and I know the 24 track Soundcraft Ghost is pretty nice. I wanted to try to keep it below $2000, though.

I just bought a Studer A800 2" 24 track machine that I have to go pick up in a month! Please anybody tell me anything I should know about this machine, and what your thoughts on it are! Thanks!

ie using it as if it were a 24 track tape machine and hooking it up to an analog mixer.
