i'd been eyeing a mackie 1604 vlz pro as my next logical upgrade. the sound quality is quite superb and far excels what i have now (studiomaster 16:2).
in the meantime however, i've noticed that alot of people here have digital mixers. i've always been told (mackie seminar) that analogue has a warmer sound.
now the newer generation is about i wondered what's new. hi-price digital mixers are now more affordable so should i indulge.
i'm not in a position to audition every mixer available (no stores nearby) but a recommendation would be good.
i have an akai s5000, supernova, vintage keys, R8, JX10 and effects units. i need inputs more than anything but cost is a factor.
whats the pros and cons?
thanx for unbiased advice
ciao

and about linking several 01Vs - I like how all you need to do is buy a couple of cables to do this. The 'Cascade' kits for the 03D/02R cost about £800 :-)

(I'm trying to figure out something about the TR-909 that is somehow related to spending more money to get more inputs. The 909 has a stereo out, but the individiual outs are mono ? Doesn't seem to make much sense...)

The reason I'm obsessing with this is that I want to be sure I'm not losing anything by using the individual (mono) outs...
