Hey guys, i just wanted to chime in here for those of you who have asked about a controller, etc...

If you are considering the n12 and still want a controller, why not go the route of an 01v96 v2. The conversion is excellent, you get pre's, dynamics, motorized faders, etc... You are looking at a few hundred dollars more for the motorized faders on the 01v (which you would be looking at anyways if you added a controller to you n series mixer, etc...). You can send and return up to 16 channels of audio EACH WAY (16 channels to and from your computer) at the same time. And for those of you who will ask, MLAN is working perfectly of my setup as well as on the computers of several people of know (if you want to find out how, pm me as that is another topic).

I have and 01v 96 v2 and a motif XS. As of last week it is all hooked up via mlan. I can send signals to anywhere from anywhere with the click of a mouse. It is much more flexible than protools 003 (sorry, not trying to offend), as you can literally configure your mixer any way you want. I think the n series is a great concept if you have to have knobs for everything and still get your audio into your computer. But if you want controller capability, i think the 01v is hard to beat for not much more.
