This is an off topic post so please reply to me privately or in the OT list. I am only sending this to the main list because it increases my chances of getting advice from those who have one or the other, or both. I am setting up a small production room and one of the choices needing to be made is between a Yamaha 02R or Mackie 8bus. I have never really used either so I could use some advice to help make a decision. There is also that Sony console, but I am not sure if that is in the same ballpark price wise. This is basically for a small logic/protools writing room with some synths and doing some vocals. Thanks for any advice. Colin Miller
