thanks fellas,

let me give you a little more detail of my setup.... i've got midgrade converters now (frontier designs tangos). i also have a 32 channel soundcraft ghost that i use for tracking and for mixing. i use mostly high end outboard mic pres and use the channels in the ghost for monitoring them and what i have left that can't get a outboard pre, i use the the ghosts pre's. i track drums first, then everything else seperately until all the tracks are layed. i will then run out of the tangos into the ghost so i can run it like live sound, taking advantage of the outboard gear i got and being able to mult different drum groups is nice too. eq and stuff too in nice on the ghost. i then run into the tangos again for a stereo mixdown. if i do get the new converters, i could keep one of my tangos for the extra outs. i'd use it for bass guitars and vox. i'd probably run everything at 48khz since that is the best the tangos will do for sample rate. wouldn't that be like downgrading the high end converters to run them on a lower sample rate with the tangos? oh, i also have a digi 96/52 hammerfall soundcard..... thanks again, matt.
