I've been thinking of the berhinger ADA8000 to go with my motu mk2 828 for recording live shows. BUt I'd like to get more ideas for mic pre's, i.e. do they have more afferct than what mics you have, is it better to have different mic pre's for options, or should I get something with eight in's to have better portibility consistantcy and control. What do you use, for what. If I have a limited budget I could get a lot of stuff(nicer mics) for the money I would save bying a ADA8000. A motu rep recomended m-audio's octane and Focusrite's octoPre. What do you think?

Thanks for all the replys. Now I was asked o record some punk rock type bands for a low budget skate vieo. I think I can do it because I've been recording in different formats for years just. So Now i need enough equipment that won't break my wallet but give my friends/partners a good product. So I thought I'd use my g4 and motu, a bunch of random mics, get an external hard drive and some more memory, top it off with a mic pre and do some on location( though we will be able to do retakes) recordings. I've had the 'practicle recording' book for many years and it has been the bridge from me guessing and getting better recordings. enough info? I was hoping to record with audio desk recording multipule tracks, probibly run the drums through my small mixer. phew!
