| M Audio Project Mix? Hey there, Yes, I did a search... Someone hipped me to the M Audio Project Mix. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...ixIO-main.html I was tinking about getting the Digi 002, but they said that the pres and converters were actually better in the M Audio thingy... Anybody have any opinions? What am I losing by staying with M based PT instead of full on LE? Anything? Are the pres and converters really better in the Project Mix? The background that some of you helpful folks already know: I am currently using the M Audio Firewire 1814 and want to get myself to a +4 system ASAP, so I can use my Sytek pres, or at least not use pads on my pres...The pads are killing me. Thanks |

| Lives for gear | I chose a projectmix over an 002. The preamps and converters on both aren't great, but with the thousand dollars you save on the projectmix you can buy more toys. I bought the projectmix when it came out for 999 dollars, and used the extra money for an isa 428 with the converter addition. So for about the same price as an 002, I was able to get 4 nice preamps and 4 more line inputs with their own conversion. What a deal! The only problem is that my projectmix loses communication from time to time, but it's a 10 second fix, so I still would take it over the 002. |

| Lives for gear | i forgot to mention that i absolutely HATE the pres on the projectmix, even for hacking around with. they are very noisy, but there are 8 of them, and there are tracks that don't need high or even medium range pres. Even with the price change on the projectmix, for the same price as an 002 you can get an octopre too, and have 8 more generic pres with their own conversion |

| If I'm not mistaken, the line-ins are only -10; Prosumer at best. Otherwise, it looks like a killer controller. Also, MP isn't any different than LE. |

| …and what about 5.1 monitoring on ProjectMix I/O? No matter it has four line outs, I belive it can be expended with some external D/A converter via ADAT. Have anyone of you tried such a thing? thank's! Vladimir |

Also it leaves you open to using other software besides pro-tools. Using M-Powered is not much different. There are some plug ins that wont work and certain parts of session data that wont be fully recognized by either, but all the audio elements are pretty much intact and compatible.

| Gear addict | Don't forget, the Project Mix can be moded by BLA to bring it up to semi-pro standards. Which is well worth the money, IMO. So save the money buying the ProjectMix and MP and just mod it by BLA and you'll have a much better set-up than just a 002.

| What about software, what does the ProjectMix come with? Can you use Protools LE at all? Does Cubase & all VST plug ins work? Thanks! |

| hated my Project mix Got a killer deal on one directly from Maudio through a pro deal. I used it for 2 days before I got rid of it. Hated the pres, and unstable as all hell. Maybe I just got a bad one but their Customer service was horrible too. So I am done with MAUDIO

Hello - first post. M-Audio has updated their drivers since your post and my ProjectMix is rock solid these days. There was a big improvement when the 1.8.4-3 driver came out (6/26/08). I'm referring to Mac, BTW. -geekd | |
