It looks Mackie but I'm certain it's q step up. Still I kinda hate the light brown color scheme

If any of you want to take pity on me and give me your old Apples that "no longer open projects", I'll put it to good use. They go for cheap on CL here in Minneapolis. I have an imac I could send you that needs an iOS.

Just started building guitar amps this year. Sold one tube of a mish mash of designs. Kept the SS. I like it. But it does get pricey.

In Studio One 3 you can select how many cores get applied to what. I have to check but I think kontakt might offer the same. Maybe omnisphere. An interesting feature but in all honesty that is a feature I’m paying for the fact that the guy who writes the code should no more about the efficiencent use of computing power than me!😎 Yeah I always designate all 12 cores. It's a studio pc what else am I going to do with them? I hardly go online with it even. Maybe to look up synonyms or sending out mixes. Otherwise it's duty is the studio. Also it's mostly solid state and it's silent. No need for cooling but I also don't overclock it. My hd192s on the other hand can get loud. Bad design.

I'm running an HP z800 dual hex processor (That's 12 cores) Windows 7 pc with 24 gigs of ram (upgradable to a ridiculous 192). I also have 3 ssd's and a 1 terrabyte hd. I built it for about $600. I can record and play back 24 tracks at 96k with plug ins on about 10-12 tracks without a hiccup. I love this computer. It's never given me a problem. It even has pcie slots and is avid/digidesign approved (whatever that means). At one point I had avid hd cards in it and Rme pcie cards in it. I currently use 2 x bla modded hd192s and a bla modded 2408 mk3 for monitoring through my modded Ghost. I track bands and my judge of pc's is if they have ever failed during a session. This one has not. If it broke I'd buy another.

Jeff, Will you be selling sectional pieces as well e.g. just the outputs, or just the summing, or just an input, or an 8 input channel section, 16, etc...? Of course this looks awesome and you should pat your back with beer. From the discussions I’ve had with him the smallest version of the summing mixer will be an 8x2. Well i hope he might do just sections like aca stuff he has. Like just the output. Or just the input. Or just the channel card. You know stuff to mod stuff with.

This uses Jeff's ACA summing so no need for the stereo vp28s to sum through.

Running each channel through a vp28 is going to sound thicker albeit it might be noisier (please correct me if I'm wrong Jeff). Im not sure it was designed for it but I am certain that with a little modification it could be done. Every card looks like it has an amp circuit for each of their duties.

I gotta say my Icon has been flawless. Its small so fits in front of my console nice. Its never been a problem. Jog works great along with transport functions. And they make an add on. Works in S1 perfectly too. Bummer there is no pan on the Faderport.

Yeah I meant more of the building block Lego mixer. I guess this is formatted to fit colour amps and what not.

Well I guess I'll wait till it goes down a little since I already have an Icon but this is on my wishlist. I think we've been waiting years for this. www.sonicstate.com/news/2018/01/25/presonus-ships-faderport-16-control-surface/Well at least since the Tascam us-2400 died away into the land of non-supported. I've nearly switched completely over to Studio One which makes it even more desirable for me.

Untrue. Do the exchange rate and JLM is actually very reasonably priced in some areas. In other areas you are getting a very high end piece of gear with expensive parts in it. The price reflects this. Orange 86 I've heard good things about. Someone did a redd preamp too. NY Dave stuff will actually teach you a lot. Ian Bell has good stuff too.

Yeah but do you have to buy the digigrid IO? Cause that's what it seems like. Im not sure though. Otherwise how is one connecting 192s? And if so well then it's not that great of a deal. I owned avid hd with accell and two purple 192s for years. They are good. Worth spending 1.5k to use them with Studio One? No. Id much rather get MOTU 16As instead.

God damn it, I have seen Jeff and Gary answer this very question before and I'll see if I can look up where I think I saw it. You cerrtainly have a firm grasp on mixer engineering and audio schematics. Also nice job breaking it all down. Everything you need to know about the ACA is probably here: groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=33038.msg402708#msg402708Ygou could just ask at Gdiy. Someone will know.

Fabfilter. Waves Veq4 has been getting some use lately. I use a lot of outboard eq though.

Oh I know how complex it could be. I'm not saying stick some ne5532 in there and call it done (that would cause oscillation at the very least plus a plethora of other things) but it's definitely a weak point in the mixer. Jeff's ACA summing is just that; it's a summing bus for a mixer just like yours or to be put into an API mixer. It's what I have in the Ghost. It's a replacement for a mixers summing buss and turns things from good to f****** amazing. It's like driving a kia and upgrading to a Mustang.

Have you considered using Jeff's (capi) ACA summing rig? Modern op amps are going to open that guy up and only make things better. I think swapping the Ic's would have the best effect. Well Jeffs summing bus would probably have the best. API channels also use 47 ohm bus resistors.

I have a Soundcraft ghost. For one it's an inline console so seperate mixes can be made depending on if I use a or b. Either one has a control room out. So I can monitor while switching from A to B since both can be accessed via the control room out.
I typically route it from the mixer into the Motu back to two channels 23 + 24. That's my main mix duplicated. I can tap into it anytime via the patchbay. I can route those channels anywhere and they also have a direct out.
I also have a tape return which I do use sometimes too. From my mixer I can go to a separate headphone amp via the control room out and that can be sent to everyone else.
I typically monitor from a second Motu that is playing the stereo mix being recorded.
In the daw I have all my channels bussed to 12 channels and can add up to 12 more if needed. Two tracks in the daw are armed and they are my monitor out. They are playing what the daw is recording from my mixer stereo out. They are coming out the second motu. I can assign all of the channels on the motu to be outs of those channels. So I can have 6 separate L and R outs.
If I want to solo a channel I do it from the console. To cut a channel I can do either the console or inside the daw.

Yeah it's a little limited but where there's a will there's a way. Can you sacrifice two channels and does it have direct outs? If you could you could just make those your monitor path.
