RME, Lynx, Apogee, Creamware, MOTU all offer more than 16 channels
interfaces already? All at potentially better sound quality and more
affordable prices and configuration options all of which have more I/O.
All of them would be a better value than even the entry level PT rig
even including the PC/MAC computer. If someone is doing a high end home
studio or production studio that only require 32 channels of I/O why
waste money on a PT system? Only reason I could possible see would be if
the person had to regularly go to a PT based studio with sessions. IN
most cases he could by Mbox or 002 and transfer the sessions that way if
they doesn't do it that often.

I'm going to give this a try over the weekend. My wife likes the sound of
the Paris bus more than she likes the Neve when it's driven *beyond* the
sound of the Paris bus and she's my bellweather. It is possible to set the
Neve up to where it basically emulates the sound I hear when I bypass it on
the Paris mix bus so I'm going to dial in the Neve saturation levels to the
point that when I bypass it, I hear no difference between the Neve on the
global insert and "not" on the insert, then see if I can get this happening
on a Cubase ITB mix. The cool thing about the Neve is that it's got
extremely nice line amps for boosting the signal and theoretically, if I've
tracked at 24 bit and I am processing at 32 bit float, I should

nobody spend another penny for drum related gear until I tell you to.
