but 6 gs is steap anything from apogee thats a touch less weighty on the pocket, especially for this project its already running into overtime.
int he future i would def look into a rosetta.
anyone know anything about the apogee mini to get me out of this crunch, we got great product, but shitty sound to the point im loosing sleep at night.
lol

Hey man, any time.
But check it out....you have to ask yourself, "what am I plan on doing with my product once it is completed?" Are you doing music for a deep rooted hobbie or a straight up career? This is an important question because it is the difference between you and your closest friends listening to you music and possibly millions of strangers listening to your music along with the competition. Now if you're choosing the big time than you have to be able to compete on not just production but sound quality. It has to sound industry.
I'll use some anologies to let you see what I mean.
Let's just say your favorite album was The Chronic 2001. Astonishing sound quality, right? Ok... we are going to imagine that album as a DVD, you know... very clear, crisp sound and picture. Now, without at least a decent outboard coverter, your album would be more of a EP copy of a copy of a VHS tape, not so clear. And no matter what you do to it, it will not have the same quality as that DVD. Meaning...no amount of mixing or mastering will make your music equal the quality of THE CHRONIC 2001.
Now... don't get me wrong, unless you have the standard of gear DRE has, you will only be able to get close to that type of quality, which is fine because it still would be great.
But I put this much emphasis on the conversion process because in the digital recording world... it is THEE most important step, as far as the actual capturing of the sound that's there.
So yes, $6000 is a hell of a lot (trust me when I was introduced to apogee and then seen the prices... I was like "what the f***!) But I am the type that hates to chase my tale. If I'm in it for a career move, then I don't want to be cheap today then have to buy what I really wanted tomorrow. So my suggestion is to get if you can... if you can't or you refuse to pay that much, then yeah get the minime or something... anything... but whatever you do...don't insult your musical ideas with the converters in the 002.
But my vote for you is the Rosetta 200. Shoot for that, then get the big ben later.
Peace man.
