Thanks Johnny.I was the editor of Recording magazine for 10-1/2 years, by the way, which is how I first met Michael Laskow.

Cool Nick. I'll bookmark that.

I, and several others that I know, have had pretty lousy luck with M-Audio tech support. Just one more thing to consider...

Really? I have been working on Akai Pro and their tech support is incredible, I even thanked them on my CD. What kind of problems were you having that made you need tech support? I have not worked with MPowered ProTools.

So back to the unanswered question, is 8 faders enough for mixing? I went from 8 to 12 to 16 and often wish I had more. That's the only thing I'm hesitating about with the Project Mix I/O. Any opinions?It'd be cool if they'd make them linkable like Mackie mixers where you can just keep adding 8's until you have as many as you want in the chain.

[nickbatzdorf]

That's a subjective call. I've grown used to mixing with zero faders.

Nick, I saw a great deal on a Project Mix I/0 today for $800. I think I'll just take the plunge. Thanks for giving me so much advice. Nomi

I went to Guitar Ctr thinking I'd get that Project Mix I/0. They had told me it was factory refurbished and guaranteed. Turns out, it was used on consignment, had broken buttons and no power cord. While there, I tempted myself with the Digi002. It's twice the price but includes the software and looks a lot better.

Let us know how that works out!
