Hello all
Sorry, if this topic has been discussed many times ...
I'm looking for a digital mixer with 8 to 16 channels. It's for monitoring all
my audio sources and maybe also recording into reaper. Unfortunately I don't
have too much space in my room, so I'd prefer a small footprint.
I do little projects at home, mostly. things like recording rehearsal tracks
for my choirs, singing the voices to some MIDI tracks.
My problem at the moment is that I don't have enough channels to monitor
everything: Two stereo channels from my two computers and and two mono channels
for each screen reader.
I have a sound devices 552 mixer.
There is some reasons why I'd like to go with a digital mixer this time. Less
hissing noise I think and I got myself an RME Digiface USB some time ago -
just because I could get it for a good price and it was hard to get other RME
audio interfaces. The RME Digiface USB has several digital ADAT inputs and
outputs. I wonder if I could use them with a digital mixer? I admit, I never
had much gear with digital IO's, besides sony and marantz recorders.
And I also admit that I don't entirely know what to do. this may sound a bit
stupid, but I just don't know if what I'm looking for even exists in the
digital realm without being inaccessible or way out of budget, let's say about
$1500 and above. I'm not sure if this is realistic at all.
Thanks if you have some suggestions
Ben
