Either way I'm upgrading as this 828 sounds bad.
I wouldn't call mixers old fashioned, as they are still widely used and prefered in studios. In fact, most big name studios have Hugh mixing consoles. Granted I'm not a big name producer, but you got to start somewhere.
Mixers have onboard EQ that will benefit me. Plus I'm not a fan of Plugin EQs or compressors, it's not the same. Also being able to match the levels on a hands on mixer is a lot nicer than trying to check all your levels on your laptop.
Wouldn't you guys agree that hardware mixers still have the upper hand over software environment mixing? I haven't tried it yet, but do software programs like Logic offer 'Sidechaining' like mixers? That would be important to have.
Either I'm getting a mixer or a new audio interface like an Apogee or something. Not sure yet.
I would like to hear your guys opinions on going with a mixer or audio interface (like an Apogee).
