Hi

Checking how often you have had the need to use more than 2 mics for studio work? SIngle vocals, backup vocals, insrruments (excluding drum kits)?

I will be buying a new AD converter and am leaning towards a high end modular unit. For similar dollars as other 8 AD/ 8DA units, I could purchase only 4 or 6 AD.

I can't think of controlled multi-track work that would need more than 6 AD - usually only 2-3 for what I do. Maybe small group classical? Not sure.

Any thoughts - double checking my appraisal so I don't box myself in.

thanks

rob
