About MAckie 8 bus

Hi everyone. What do you think about a Mackie 16/24/32*8bus for recording. What about the preamps? What would you do in the following situation:

Would you use the 8 bus preamps into a digi 002 for recording...

or

Would you get a vlz(or similar/cheaper) mixer to skip its preamps, use external preamps and use the mixer for monitoring only?

thanks

Mixers - Roland? Soundcraft? Mackie?

Hi everyone.

I'm thinking of buying a bigger mixer, but something within budget (hence posting here).
Now, I've come across a few offers of second-hand mixers, among which the following:
- Roland M16E
- Soundcraft Folio SX
- Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro

Is there one you would suggest, or are the ones where you would tell me to forget about them?

Quality of converters on Mackie d8b mixer

Could anyone tell me what is the sound quality of the converters on Mackie d8b console? I could get one cheap but it's not about the money.. I don't wanna get something with converters sounding much worse than a decent ouboard converter. I would buy RME 5692 card with 3 ADAT interfaces and use d8b as a mixer/converter going to either nuendo 2 or Cubase sx3.
