Mixing Board/Box - 24+ Ch., Small Footprint??
In general, I will need a mixing board/box for tracking. (I will need to be able to mute the monitors while keeping headphone feeds which would be disbursed to multiple headphones (1 to 4), mute certain channels while tracking, etc.)
====================
More specifically, I need:
To send upto 24 channels from my HD Recorder to the mixing box to:
- distribute to headphones/monitors (for use in tracking, etc.)
- to send a rough stereo mix to my computer soundcard
To send a stereo (L/R) feed from my MPC to the mixing box
To send a stereo (L/R) feed from the mixing box to the MPC
I plan to send most of my work to mixing engineers for final mixdowns including EQ/Effects/etc. (I dont plan on having a big outboard rig whereby Id be sending channels for EQ & processing)
I'd highly prefer something with a small footprint/portability, and something with known reliability. Otherwise, I realize I could just run out and buy a 32 channel prosumer board. I may be moving in the near future and dont want to be lugging some Mackie/Soundcraft/A&H Board around with me.
Any ideas? Cost Im hoping to be somewhere within the $0.28 to $2,474.32 range.
I understand this may be an impossible wish list...but thought Id throw it out to you guys in case there is something that I havent thought of.
Thanks much!
Appreciate the help!
