QUOTE Just got a MiniMe and it absolutely blows the 828 out of the water!! 2 phenomenal mic preamps, limiting, compression (you can even tweak the ratios by opening the top of the box!) famous Apogee A-D conversion (+UV22) 96khz operation, and you can even use different sample rates/bit depths SIMULTANEOUSLY (i.e. 96/24 from SPDIF & AES/EBU, and 44.1/16 via USB). For me, the 828 is now an expensive doorstop. Scott Holli answered: QUOTE mini-me sounds very cool fidelity wise, how much do they go for roughly? I could look on the web site but what kind of outs does it have, also what is the driver system? I think I speak for everyone but please let us know how you get on DigitMus , now and as an ongoing concern. Maybe this warrants a new forum! I for one would love to follow it's progress. Holli xxx Teiwaz answered: QUOTE DigitMus, Great to hear a fellow Apogee user talkin' loud! I LOVE my AD-8000...Apogee rule, man! Maybe we should open a new thread on the subject of the extremely exciting Apogee guys and their products... :D And now for the rest... ;-) Bye. |

QUOTE Lemme put it this way, my portable multi-track location rig consists of a Mackie MDR24/96 w/AES cards, Crane Song Spider, HEDD192 and Flamingo, Earthworks 1024, Lucid 9624DA (for monitoring), Royer SF-12, 2 Neumann M149s, 2 Earthworks QTC-1s, 2 Earhtworks SR77s, and about 40 more mics if needed. so what you're saying is, you've got a good kit.  i'm quite impressed. therefore, you are the perfect guy to answer my question. i do live theatre sound, and i'm looking for a hardware solution which will let me record multiple tracks while preparing for a show, then play back at least four indipendant channels through a piece of software that i'm developing (currently written in hypercard, going to cocoa in the next few months). the recordings are mostly effects (hitting things, breaking things, etc.) or music for underscoring. quality is important (isn't it always?), but nobody is going to be listening carefully to my stuff in headphones. all my research so far points to the 828 as the best candidate. firewire is easy, the hardware is rugged, the quality is above average (not WAY above, but above), and the price is right. am i off base? should i be looking at other options? i've got WAY less money than DigitMus...  thanks in advance. that is cool, though, your setup. -------------------- there can be hours between the so and the what of the so
