I know the A&H ZED R16 is firewire, is there a firewire model for the 420?
Can Sonar LE be ran on a Mac? If anything I'll just track into the Sonar then transfer into Pro Tools or Logic for when I get some plugs. I've never used Sonar before, any thoughts?
I've read only good things about A&H, apparently very nice sounding and quiet pres. It's only $1500! Anyone else want to elaborate or share they're experiences with A&H?
Thanks for all the responses!
PS: Most everything I'll be recording is going to be in the metal genre, anyone see any problems or more suggestions? Thanks again |
The 420 USB is only 2 tracks through the USB I think. The R16 is 18 outs through firewire (16 ch plus 2tr mains). The R16 is analog too except that the unit can be used as a digital control surface for mixdown of multitrack later.
The Presonus is all digital. If you need multitrack and want it through a console then you might look at the Mackie Onyx firewire units also or even the Alesis Multimix 16 firewire. The Alesis has few features and only 8 mic inputs but is a good starter unit for the price.
