Original Message Date: 21-Jul-03 @ 05:43 AM - Standalone D-A necessary?
JUST to set levels and panning pretty much, and the output buss. Maybe get one good compressor to put on the mains...
so..at first I thought maybe get like a hammerfall or something...say 16-24adat outs, and then maybe a Swissonic DA24 or the like
and then I thought well hell...two delta 1010s woud give me 16 outs..or two 2408s?
so my question is, are the DAs on these things "sufficient?" Is it really necessary to get standalone DA converters? Theyre not cheap!
another option would be the Hammerfall with a couple of the 8 out expansions?
and then that goes back to..is there really a point to breaking things out? does it really sound more "open"?
I guess thats why I want to try..to see if I like the way it sounds..you know...crank the channels a bit...see what the FX sound like comin off the PC through a mixer..etc?
hit me with some thought here, fellas! damballah? Psy? Mindspawn? Anyone else with experience with this?
