Hiya,

I was all set to buy an R16 but then noticed that the stereo channels don't have there own outs and have to be routed to mono's etc. That sounds like a bit of a faff for me as i have a few stereo synths etc and like a few others on here, don't really need 16 pre's. Also, i would be a few inputs short on the R16 although it looks near perfect for my needs otherwise.

Is anybody using an R16 with a mixture of mono drum channels from drum machines/synths and some stereo synths?

My ideal mixer would sound great, feel analogue, but spit out all the channels i need through firewire straight onto individual tracks in Cubase - when i spoke to A&H about the lack of outs on the stereo channels, he said that they weren't really intended as stereo channels and suggested summing a lot of mono's to groups to make room to route the stereos to some spare mono's - that's not really an option for me as i like everything drum/synth on its own channel in my sequencer.

Sounds like i need to wait (and save up more!) for the R24 - any comments?

thanks, dan
