Thinking about Digi 001

Mr Sparklepants, I concur with Link, I would not get caught up in "gear lust" to the tune of a $10,000.00 mixer. In reality, you dont need a mixer, but a digital mixer with efx built in, possibly a 01v Yamaha, might be considered more prudent. The 24 track mackie recorder is nice,but not exactly a proven industry standard yet. What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish with your recording needs? Are you able to get top performance out of your equipment? What else have you been looking at? I will end by saying that digi 001 is not a toy at my house, It is capable of making a turn key professional recording.* *3rd party plugins maybe required.

Yep, yep, yep... Sounds like you'll have duplicate functions. Nothing wrong with the Mackie setup other than it won't edit to the detail that you can with a DAW - and limited plug-in boards for the D8b - but nice ones. Also, for that kind of money, you could get a MixPlus system. Then you'd really be rockin'... ------------------ LW

Now if I got the mixplus system, would I have as much problems with error messages, crashes, etc.? I just don't trust a computer enough yet. Maybe I'm just too paranoid.

I've read the problems people are having like explosion sounds, error messages, etc. I don't have the time or patience to deal with these kind of small problems. Is the Mixplus more reliable?

Sparkly-Pants baby!! Do ya have the patience to use this stuff?? I'd say get the mix plus if you can afford it. Also if you are not comortable with computers and mice for controlling mission-critical fades etc get the motorized fader thingy...but I wouldn't worry too much about stuff like "exploding" sounds. The DUC has been an excellent forum to learn and solve such problems, and in fact, I believe it was actually discovered that the 'bug' in that case was not Digi's fault, and could be solved outside of PTLE, and by Waves... So go spend some o' that dough you seem to have a lot of. While you're at it, can I get a mix-plus too? Please, pretty please, Mr. Sparkly-thingy... Just kiddin' [This message has been edited by link (edited June 15, 2000).]
