Well AT LEAST IT'S A START!

I suppose this is a question for the more high-endpeople around here. We've been talking some about how Pro Tools isn't the best thing to trust your level/mixing chores with. Has anyone here stretched out on one of the top level digital mixers? Oxford, Axiom, Libra, etc.? Any opinions? Are these boards the same sonic letdowns as some of the less expensive stuff?

I am so glad that these companies are pushing the envelope. The 3.0 functions look incredible, especially with the compatibaility with Pro Tools. The UA digital card is shipping this month, it should be an incredibly powerful tool to mix with 3.0! Between the two cards we should have power that exceeds the power of Pro Tools for less than half :D :D

Trying to get a very clear, straight answer.

I tried Tascam Tech Support...no go...

If I feed the CD-RW-2000 (or 700) an analog source...while using the Monitor function that allows me to use it like a stand-alone 24 bit A/D converter...(I'm NOT burning a CD, I'm not even puting one in the machine)...what is at the digital output...24 bit or 16 bit?

I know this is regarding DAW stuff, but none of the real engineers hang out over there :p Anybody had a chance to compare the new UA digital eq and compression to the Waves Rennaisance EQ and compressor yet?

Napster - what happened to our perception of digital music? :cool:

I readily admit being almost totally clueless about digital recording technologies. Not having to support a family from recording means being able to surround myself with my favorite toys, regardless of whether they are practical, efficient or cost effective. I can happily play with my 30 and 40 year old analog toys, totally ignorant of the world passing me by.

Mixerman, I find that your statement " the sound gets smaller the more sounds you put into it" rings a chord in my brain.
The really interesting thing is, lemme see if I can put this into words :)

Digi, SS, Nuendo etc., Design something that will save new releases and the future of the 21 century musician from total poverty due to piracy.
