Shopping List :)

[cobhc]

Right, I'm looking at buying a load of stuff when I start a new job. I already have a pair of HR824A's on my list, but I was also looking at buying a new soundcard/interface with better mic pre's. What do you guys recommend for anything up to about £1000? Preferably I'd like something I can run ProTools on.

is the M-Audio Project Mix any good? It looks like it could be cool...

 

[HeadCrusher]

I was about to suggest that. I've been to a showcase were the M-Audio guy demonstrated it. It's really cool to alter midi parameters with the knobs and (motor!) faders on that thing (he showed it with Ableton Live! 5 but it supports Pro Tools M-Powered also). Audio Interface/Pre-Amps included - should be very cool and also in your price range! Where from Europe are you exactly from?

look at my location next to my post.

 

[HeadCrusher]

Ah... And the blind shall see...

 

[cobhc]

i dont know if i want something as big as that, but we'll see.

[LydonB]

you could just get an mbox.

 

[cobhc]

but an mbox ONLY works with PT

i'll think about it, since an od820 is on my list.

MBox doesn't work with other DAW's? I know the 002 does.


I'd go for a MOTU 828mkII.

Well, he's on a PC. The 002R and MBox...any Digi hardware will only work with PT on a PC. On a Mac, however, any Digi hardware will work in PT and in Digital Performer.

Yep, I use my 002R in DP all the time. Or I was, I'm about ready to sell it to a friend and I'm getting an 828mkII from MOTU.

I want to hear some stuff about the MOTU Ultralite. I am thinking of getting a new interface. Might sell my firepod for something smaller.

So well, then what about the M-AUDIO FIREWIRE 1814?

 

[greyskull]
