[QUOTE="Mark McFarlane, post: 96304, member: 4243"] Re: Analog to Digital multi-track device Note, The Mackie and Alesis HD24 are both discontinued products. I don't know what kind of residual support is available for the Mackie, but there is a very strong HD24 community in Yahoo Groups that tests new drives (IDE and SATA), new caddies, will help you fix a power supply or diagnose a problem, find a quieter fan,.... There is also a software developer who independently has continued development of his own software to write/read songs off the HD24, Mix onn the fly off the hard disk, even recover corrupted recordings (like a plug pulled mid show). Much better software than Alesis ever had. The software is continually updated,... There are aftermarket mods the the power supply, and A/D/A circuits. It's a shame that the HD24 is no longer produced. My suspicion is that some critical parts are no longer made and no one wanted to spend the effort to redesign it. Considering that newer digital consoles have built in recording, the market for weekend warrior harddisk recorders has probably shrunk. [/QUOTE]
