Didn't someone on this list say something about the taskam 1884 being much of a
problem with jaws?

well, I think if I had the money and I were you then, I would go for a Taskam
FW1884. It has good pre-amps, and has automated faders. It's a really nice
sound card and control surface. Also, you could add more inputs to it, at a
later date, by purchasing some extra personas pre-amps for it.

Hi Phil:
I don't use separate pre amps yet. It's been suggested to me by a salesman
that the higher end mixers have good pre amps built into them. I'm in the
process of purchasing all new equipment for the studio because I'm scheduled to
train with Gord in November. So I'm just asking all these questions now so I
know what to buy and so I can have everything here and ready to go by the time
he gets here. I guess that for now, it's the digital conversion thats in
question here.
Thanks.

Omar, the Mackie is supposed to be very good. Hard to say whether you
would achieve better results with that over the Delta. Unless, the preamps
that you have attached to your delta aren't as good as the Mackie ones or, the
digital converters in the Macki, are better than the Delta's.

Hi Everyone:
A salesmen at Guitar Center recommended that I use a Mackie Onyx, which
is one of their higher end mixers with a firewire card. He says the firewire
card can become replacement for the delta 44 soundcard that i'm currently
using. He says that I'll get much better quality when converting to digital
with the firewire card that comes with the onyx mixer. So I wanted to get some
feedback from you guys before I made a decision on this.
Thanks.
