Hello

Sorry for not gathering this info from the near three thousand posts in this thread, but I'm looking at the Yamaha n8 and need some quick reviews.

If I get this right, the n8 (and n12, of course) offers...
- mixing and monitoring capabilities
- built in DSP effects
- four preamps
- multichannel, DAW-integrated firewire audio interface with multitracking capabilities and built in converters.

So, what am I missing here? Apparently this is a lot of options at a relatively low price, and it seems to me that this must either be a very good deal, or it's too good to be true.

Skimming through the pages of this thread, it seems to be a lot of worries about driver compatibility and connection problems. Is this sorted out?

I don't have a fw-interface, btw, so i would have to purchase one. PCI is the best option, right? (PC. Not on a laptop). Anything else to be concerned about?

Thanks.
