I'm sure this is not a new question, and I've asked it once myself over in the MOTU forum, but didn't get answers that quenched my thirst...so I'll ask it again here.

What are people's opinions about the best way to mix tracks recorded to a host-based DAW? Do you prefer to mix in software or use a console? If the latter, do you prefer a digital or an analog console?

Hi,

I apologize if the answers to this are in a FAQ somewhere. If so, I would be happy to look there for my information. Also... this one is post is looong, so Im sorry for that too!

Are there any other company's out there that sell customized DAW's besides Drastik solutions and and wave digital? I'm looking to by a computer with digi-001 already built into it. If someone has bought a p.c. from the company's mentioned above, have you had any problems with there products?

Hey folks, just found this site, a question for "those in the know".

I have been watching with interest the DM-24 mixer. It looks like a significant step forward, but i am wondering if my proposed scerario is possible/realistic.

I have lots of outboard gear and don't want to stop using all of it. Great River, VMP-2, Cranesong, Lexicon, RNC's, etc. Have a 24 channel Mackie that could stay or go.
I would like to record either DAW or computer. Problem is, after reading 'till my eyes bleed, I'm not much closer than I was. Need 24 to 32 channels of digital with use of plugins editing, and etc.

I know, I am asking the same old question.
Which DAW is the best?
But I have a list to choose from and the
only goal is know which system is the
all-in-one solution that can give you
that professional sound on a budget
including recording, mixing and mastering
so you don't have to take your tracks to

FishKid askes:
"Since we're in DAWworld I'll throw out a topic: I think it might be interesting to hear what Roland users think would be the perfect DAW.
I mean here we have a new DAW coming out almost every week and still, at least from what I read, none of them is "just right", that perfect blend of features and stability. They're all missing one or more key feature sets."

I mentioned some time ago that a friend and I were working on writing / mixing & producing a J-pop song (Japanese / Euro Pop) for the Japanese market! It has taken me ages, mainly due to buying & renovating a house / my job / having a girlfriend / and being Irish (a lot of drinking). As a result I have put in only around 1 hour every week to this project.

I am not quite ready to go for my mix+ setup, but at the same time still want to experiment.

I am just about to purchase a new 466

question is - Would I be able to run both a Digi-001 and MOTU interfaces on the same G4, using the 001 with PT LE, and the MOTU stuff with DP - just switch which interfaces I would want

or would there be conflicts?

Hi there - being new to all this I thought I'd run this setup past peeps here and get some feedback. I've done some research and got some good quotes - just got to purchase and plug in!
