You can do that with the FW1884 too.

just like to Project mix, except for the Project mix you can actually add a
extra pre amp with eight extra channels, with XLR and quarter inch jacks.

No. The Taskam is a soundcard, mixer and control surface, all rolled into
one.

If I use the Taskam, would I still use another mixer? Sorry, but i'm not
familiar at all with the taskam, so my questions about it are going to be
somewhat rudamentary.

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.
