| Ssl aws
My suggestion would be to buy a used SSL AWS 900 or 900+. Make sure it has a full patch bay, recall and awesomeation (the plus has both, the old 900 you can upgrade for recall and awesomeation).
The console is small, sounds amazing, plugs into the wall, generates very little heat, doesnt need a separate machine room, sounds like an SSL, has full recall and automation, all the things you'd want for teaching. Plus you'd be teaching on an SSL which should raise your prestige level of your program over other programs teaching on a Neotek or the like.
Abandon your Otari. prepare your students for what they'll face in the real world and most (not all) of the tape machines left around stay turned off.
I've never used the Neve so i dont know what its like, but i love my AWS. good luck with your program. If you want to speak to someone who uses this board every day, feel free to PM me with your phone number and I'll be happy to call you. -Ken Lewis
