Well alright then.
What would be the next step up, or 2 up from an ATB? I'm prepared to spend up to 25K in my budgeting, as of now, for the analog console, minimum 16 channels. If I shrink everything else down, maybe I could swing the Daking, but the place would then be tiny. The Daking might not fit in the control room then, or it'd would be a pretty tight working space, but that has been done before with great success.
I would accept a used console if I can have some assurance that I'm not going to get screwed on it in any way...technical...real value or otherwise...but then...whats really any good used in the price range? I wouldn't really know much about something used. For example, I've read bad things, particularly here, about MCI. So I know to stay away from MCI. What else might there be that is good?
Thanks to all.
