I am buying one for $1200 and i want to know what this system can really do and plus it can record the songs you sing in it or playback the songs u play in it right.

can a Tascam 788 be a multitrack recorder for the Mackie 24-8.

sorry i'm new to these stuff so i need advice.

Hey i'm currently *planning* on putting together a PA system, but I also want a little setup to lay down some tracks. I'm interested in the Mackie Onyx 1640 because of the obvious. I could use it for my PA and use the firewire card and lay down 16 tracks.

The Behringer UB802 mixer has a preamp, phantom power and is 24-bit. What is the advantage of something like the Mackie 12 channel mixer, or something like the MBox? What will the ultimate difference in sound quality of a home recording be?

I'm kind of new at setting things up in a studio, so please bear with me. I'd really appreciate any help I can get.

I just bought a Tascam MSR16S tape machine. I'm having trouble getting it set up, and I'm hoping that someone here can help me.

was wondering if anyone had opinions on the quality of pre's in these two interfaces. i need a new interface and have my eye on either of these two but cant decide, any help would be appreciated :)

Is it possible to expand the Mackie 1220 w/Firewire's outputs? The 1220 w/Firewire has a 16 channel in, but only a 2 channel out. I was looking at the ONYX 800R. Would I still be able to multi track record with the 16 channels and also have additional outputs? Looking for at least 6 out. This is a future upgrade I'm considering and wondering if it would be cost effective and most efficient.

i was looking to buy a 24ch 8 bus mixing console for my home studio. I found a good price for a Mackie 24 8 mixing board or an Allen and Heath gl2200 mixing board. I need help making my decision so just wanted some opinions.What do you guys think? help me out.thanks...

I am currently using PT7 and looking for a Digital control board. I have looked at the Control|24, however, it is dated, but inexpensive. I have been reading on the new Mackie Digital X Bus, and I am interested in it as well. It runs at retail, 4k more than the Digidesign, however, it has 2 15" touch screen monitors built in.
