[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 17903, member: 9"] Re: ADA8000....dumb question... +1.... once you wrap your head around the soft patching possibilities... it can really be a lot of fun. I've got an 01v96 setup with the MY16 adat card and two ADA8000 units. I'm using a small ART Sync Gen word clock generator to keep everyone in sync. Having that many outs on XLR is a real bonus at a lot of events. . . always super easy to grab another out and patch in a rec feed at the last second... just to be able to patch one thing to multiple outs without having to dig for Y cables and 1/4'' to XLR adaptors is an awesome time saver. The pre's leave something to be desired in the simple lack of consistency in the pots.. and how just the slightest turn can take you from almost hot enough... to ATOMIC levels very abruptly. The metering is also on the minimalist side of things for a mic pre. Would love to have a pad too... as I usually like to have drum mics on those pre's (leaving the board pres for the vocals and other stuff that might change more often) ... and the drums can be too hot with certain mics, even with the gain all the way down on the pre... I hate having to dangle an inline pad out the front of the unit like that... total disaster waiting to happen. Sorry for the run-on sentence. Have fun with your expanded 01v! [/QUOTE]
