on all three units you can transfer or import files via ethernet or the removable hard drive.

Sounds like shit!
here we gothe screen is wider than i remember, although i've only used it once haha
its such a fiddly little shit
Dude, that's an AW1600.
I used the older version the AW16G for years and that's how I learned all about this recording shit. Made money doing demos on it as well.
It's really an awesome unit in it's class. You can record all 8 inputs routed anywhere simultaneously. That's not possible with most of the other multitracks. They only allow like two tracks at a time.
Also, that version has USB out so you can still transfer and mix on your computer. The aw16g didn't have that. To mix on the computer, I had to transfer everything to CD as .WAV's and then copy the files to my computer.
There's all kinds of shit in that box and once you learn it, you can fly right through and get shit done fast. Check out http://www.dijonstock.com for a nice forum all about the Yamaha units.

cheers mate
i shall have a loooook!although i doubt i'll be recording my final project thingy on it. will most probably be using Logic and the motu and the concrete garage live room
it sucks wanting so much equipment at my age,
with full time education teaching you nothing with no equipment, you have no time to get a job thats worth while, and life just drags until your finally out of college and can get on with life lol.

I would say using the computer stuff will give you way more options and such, but with the standalone, you don't have to worry about latency at all. It really is easy. The preamps on the Yamaha I had sound just about as good as anything else I've used so far. I'm using one of those Mackie Onyx 1604 mixers with firewire now and can't tell a big difference.
Also, I believe the yamaha can be used as a control surface with it's midi out or somthing too. Never tried it, but I would love to have real faders and knobs sometimes.

Situation: You have good tracks. All of it was recorded well the tracks by themselves are pretty kick ass.
You have to mix with only the fallowing:
Your DAW's stock 4 band eq (don't care if there are more bands you get 4 that's IT!)
Your DAW's stock compressor/gate. The nice thing however is this can be side chained and both the gate and the compressor are separate within the same plug.
Your DAW's stock reverb... and it's simple
Could you do it? Would your mix still kick ass?
Yes, it would. I do it for live gigs each time I get a digital mixer in front of me so there usually is no outboard gear, so its REALLY nothing special. Remember: if there is nothing wrong with it, DON'T FIX IT. If this is not the case, then he first paragraph is false.
Just start with the basics, everything panned center, remember that the most important things are in this order: message, rhythm and everything else. First align the tracks (if needed) and set the low volumes and so that the balance is right. If there is nothing wrong with it as is, DON'T FIX IT. If the mix is busy, spread the mix with panning a little. If you still can't hear the vocals after this well enough, add mild compression, nothing else, because If there is nothing wrong with it as is, DON'T FIX IT. Add EQ only if there is a problem because, as the name equalizer refers, it is a tool to eqalize lost signal, but still remember: If there is nothing wrong with it as is, DON'T FIX IT. If the whole package sounds a little dry, add just a little reverb to the drums and maybe vocals (I personally like delay more but as you don't have it, don't use it). But if it is fine already, don't add it, because If there is nothing wrong with it as is, DON'T FIX IT.
get the pattern?
...the last gig I did was so that EQ:s on 90% of channels the were straight or so that the lowshelf was -3dB, but I turned the highpass switch "on" on almost all the channels except the kick and bass DI to clarify the sound a lot.
Remember: If there is nothing wrong with it as is, DON'T FIX IT. After you get that down, you are good
Over the course of 8 hours per song according to the teacher.

Your teacher is on crack. I can transfer a 24 track song from my MDR in about 5 to 7 mins using my ftp client software. Of course you have to render the tracks or you end up file spaggeti if you have a lot of punch ins and outs. And you can use a hard drive caddy to transfer files also.

Wait, what was that again? If there is something...no...nothing wrong... then what?
