heres the deal. buying cmc6 bodies is not an option at this point. i went with the nbox+ for particular reasons, and i am sticking with that. i love my new pre, and i want it to be included in this equation.
i have a number of recorders, and a 480>61, 62, 63>v3 setup as well. i am trying to maximize my dollars against devices already owned, and looking for guidance from my brothers and sisters here for advice on how to best complete the schoeps rig.
ultimately, this will come down to what i like, but a number of factors will play an important part. i care about sound (dont get me wrong) but ergonomics will also play. its one of the reasons that i havent pulled the trigger on a mytec yet. it will just be be different. (think mini-me vs v3)
at some point, i am gonna go 4 channel, so do i just go and buy the r44 (or r4, though i am falling out of love with this device based on my talks with people that have exposure to one, the other, or both).
do i save my money and buy the 744 like i planned in a couple of months??
or do i shut the hell the up, soak in the fact that i have an mk4>nbox+ solution and be done with it?? i do like the dsd action, but its pretty limited in its applications (i feel silly recording to dsd, then having to resample _down_ to 24/96 to track and listen). eventually useful, but right now, its beyond the pale. moreso than i thought when i bought it, but i really, really like my mr1. i do not like the adc of the mt2, so i wont be going that route. i have no issue with 2 recorders, 1 for the nbox, 1 for the v3.
outside chance factor: do i fund an inexpensive nagra and just go old school and blow all your minds when i show up fob?? lol
while i am not going to base my next sizable purchase on your answers, everyones input will be considered. i am more than happy to provide any additional info you like, such as, i have a lowe pro nova 3 and 5, i have no issue buying a 4, though i would rather not, etc...
thoughts?
peace, bill
