I'm shopping for Digital Mixers right now and I think I've narrowed it down to these four: 1. Mackie Universal Control 2. Tascam FW-1884 3. Yamaha 01v 96 4. Yamaha 01x mLan (not sure if this is shipping yet) Suggestions or Comments? I'm running Logic 6 on a dual 867 G4 and I'll probably be getting a MOTU 2408 MK III. TIA Danny

Why do you want a digital mixer? You'd be better off just getting the Logic Control or Mackie Universal Control, which is not a digital mixer by the way, and spending the rest of the money on good mic pres and high end plug ins, like Waves or the UAD-1 card.

Hi, as someone already said, the Mackie Control is not a mixer, just a MIDI controller. You might also want to have a look at the DDX-3216 from Behringer. An affordable 32 channel digital mixer. I'm using it together with the ADAT extension, sending 32 channels of digital audio back and forth between Logic and the mixer and it works quite well. Dennis

How is the Behringer?Its price and feature set are rather attractive,but i can't see a Behringer peice as adequete as my main analogue front end. As to the question in question,I would tend to think that with the MOTU,which I do like as a good,accurate neutral converter,one would be best served by investing in good analogue outboard:preamps,compressors,eq etc,to shape your tone in the analogue domain.Then,if it were me,I'd use the mackie or the Tascam usb controllers and mix in the computer,using the MOTU's low latency to break auxes out to use analogue processing.
