Who makes "Appropriate" software? LOL! Actually I'm on it... Thanks! Looks like I have some research to do. |

The TI is basically its own soundcard and you can use it as one. I guess the one issue I have is that I have a dire shortage of USB ports so if theres an alternative I'd go with that. I also think there are stricter limits on what you can bus power on a USB port because it can't supply a whole lot of power but thats irrelevant unless you want to go completely mobile with a laptop. In which case battery life will be the bane of your existence. As for Firewire, it can be flakey but it depends on the chipset and driver design. I've got a TC Konnekt 48 and thats real flakey because of DICE II and a firewire chipset that it just doesn't seem to like. I do get some pretty severe DPC spikes at times and very variable CPU load. |

I've added the MY8-AES card to my AW so that I can bypass the internal preamps for my vocal and guitar. My "golden channels" have a Focusrite ISA with digital card for vocals and DBX 376 for guitar. I like the Yamaha because it does a great job of emulating a tape deck, has useful automation for mix down, decent on board processing, and lossless recording. I've been thinking of looking for Yamaha's successor the AW2400, now discontinued, because it enables file transfer without having to mix to CD or record to the computer via real time playback. If you could easily move files to the computer, would you continue to record outboard and just use the computer for editing? |
