Which 16 channel mixer with high end preamps?
I am looking at 16 channel mixers, and wonder what sort of price/make/model would have top quality preamps and eq?

I want to use the hardware mixer with cubase, rather than mix in the box or use a control surface - I want some analog in the chain somewhere and simply want the hands on approach to recording and mixing (if you know what I mean).

The only problem is paying for a mixer with a bunch of preamps when I only really use one or two at a time, but I will need the eq and channels to mix.

Hope this makes sense


Thanks

the API 16 channel board is great. Beautiful sounding preamps, amazing eq, and some really decent dynamic processing. Its also 50 grand.... IMO opinion its about as top quality as you can get for a 16 channel board. For more info, go here...

I wish I could but I couldn't get it through my front door let alone put it in my studio!

Very nice though

Price range? Unless you want people suggesting $100k consoles, that is.
