Jay, thanks for your reply.

I guess I just like how the board sounded when we ran our multi-tracks through it to mix. So in a sense, I guess you could say I liked how its "line inputs" sounded on my music. We never used its Mic Pre Amp. If the 9098 or the CIB sounds just as good or even better, then I should probably look towards one of those units for that purported "Amek" sound that I desire.

However, I'm mostly looking for something to track my synths and drum samples through. And since we do a lot of mixing in the box now a days, I'd like to find a way to impart the character that I want onto my tracks so that I don't have to spend time trying to recreate it in the DAW. Maybe I could buy some sort of summing buss that can give me that tight punchy and warm sound. Is this perhaps a better way to go?
