Hello,
After a morning trawling the Internet and seemingly getting no where, can anyone tell me the difference between AD8000's and the SE Edition? We have 2 SE's at our work at the moment and have just bought a plain AD8000. We also have a Trak 2. We are still running Mix plus, due to financial reasons (i.e having to get new plug-ins!!!), we haven't upgraded to OSX yet and Mac Pros, but it IS in the pipeline for the near future!
Basically I think our future system would like to be HD2, running with the AD8000's and the Trak 2, giving us 26 in 32 out.
If we wanted to go for a 48 in 48 out rig (we have a truck for doing outside recordings) would we need to go to HD3 and then the NEXT question is can we run AD8000s and Rosetta 800's together? I am aware of the fact that the AD8000's would 'limit' us to 48k, but that isn't a problem we have encountered so far..
So many questions and I am relatively inexperienced in putting together rigs, so any advice would be gratefully appreciated!
Our current setup is:
G4, 500Mhz, 512MB RAM
Mix Plus with the AD8000SE's + Trak 2
'Tools 5.1.3
OS 9.?
At the moment we have nice, stable, great sounding setup (probably helped by the Neve VR Legend) so we have reached the point that we have to decide to make the change! If we do make the change, are the new platforms nice and stable!?
Sorry this turned into a bit of an epic...I'm a newbie too, so be nice or I'll cry!!!
