hmm...an impt consideration for the choice: Will I be able to use the recorder like a standalone 24 channel ADC/DAC?
See, in future if we add an 24 ch ADAT audio interface like RME's stuff and a computer, will I be able to use the HD24 or D2424LV like AD/DAs i.e. using the input monitoring functions to convert and pass the signal to record into the PC?
For example, let's say I want to record 16 tracks (recorder's 16 analog inputs set to monitor thru 16 corresponding ADAT outputs fed to RME interface) while sending back 8 channels of cue mixes from the PC (RME's 1 ADAT output fed to recorder's 1 ADAT input set to monitor thru corresponding 8 analog outs). At the same time can the 16 tracks to be recorded be monitored thru 16 analog outs of the recorder
(i.e. analog inputs mirrored to both analog AND ADAT digital out simultaneously)? This would be great for feeding into an analog mixer for zero latency cue mixes.
Can either or both of these recorders do that? I read through both their menus but it doesn't go into much detail. The HD24 seems to be able to do an "All Inputs" thing
but I think it can only select all 24 inputs by digital OR analog but not a combination.
appreciate some user experience here....
