Hey all! Totally excellent forum. Wow I have spent many nights flipping through the threads here. First post.
I'm coming from a commercial studio background. Looking to get into acoustic recording full time. Not really field recording, more acoustic acts and stages. (Coffee Shops, Orchestras, Solo Piano Work, Jazz groups and so on)
Right now i'm trying to figure out if I want to go with a multi-track unit with 8 preamps and conversion or keep one of my API lunchbox's full of 512 preamps and my lynx converters to a macbook pro. I'm worried that the sound quality and flexibility of the small rack couldn't be matched by the preamps and conversion of smaller units.
I see benefits to each setup. Just looking for some professional options. Any insight would be great.
Cheers,
