This mixer seems really cool for the price - I was looking at an 01v, but now... Hmmm...
Anybody had a play with this thing?? Whadaya think??

Looking at $4k versus $2200-2500 I see a big reason for going with the Behringer.
Not that the Tascam with 24 channels of I/O wouldn't be the bomb but it's easily over a thousand dollars more, probably more like $1500-$2k more once all is said and done.

If you want a board with lots of digital i/o and the ability to expand later, and even hook it directly up to a protools i/o without any addition hardware. It's a nice mixer. It is certainly more comprehensive the behringer. I think the routing is awsome on it. I like the idea of using the two mic/line's as inserts, so when mixing down you can have audio come from tape or disk via the aes/ebu and use external gear inserted into the channel using the two mic/line connectors on each track. If you have to mix in diferant environments for diferant projects and need to integrate hardware fx with your plugs, this is tight. And you can mix down back to the daw via spidif. this is pretty damn flexible. And with a motu 2408 you have no physical fader to control the channel or surface to work with.
The tascam is geared toward the pro project studio that wants o2r features on a budget with the use of outboard fx or PT integration, and the behringer is marketed toward the prosumer.
I like em both, and the behringer would do just fine for me probabaly and most. It also has the 6 controlers for using it control software synths etc.
It's a tough choice, but i am moving toward the PT setup and outboard gear integrated in. So i made my choice. And 24/48 is all I need.
