Here is what you need to do.

Find a used mix plus (get on DUC and find out which serial numbers are refurbs. MAKE SURE YOU GET AN ORRIGINAL AND NOT A REFURBISHED ONE).

Trade it in for a HD 2 (the price will be $3999)

Use that AD8000 that you were gonnna use. GET an appogee xHD card.


There you have it a HD 2 on the cheap (depending on how much you pay for the mix system and the Ad8000. For me it was cheap because I already had the mix plus for years that I paid $3Gs for)


If you are already working in say cubase or nuendo and you are able to record/mix I'd say just keep working
Good lookin' out No SSL. How much would a mix core and 3 farms cost me in the used market?
