[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 211502, member: 46"] In my opinion (having owned a studio for a long time and done a lot in the live space too) you will be a lot happier if you don't try to kill 2 birds with one stone in this case. None of the decent live consoles are very good as a DAW control surface in my opinion when compared to a real quality DAW controller (FYI I'm currently using an Avid Icon DCommand ES 24 channel in studio, and it absolutely kills in terms of what it can do VS a live console running in a compromised HUI mode). For an inexpensive ProTools control setup, I would suggest the Avid ProTools Dock with an iPad plus one or more Avid Artist Mix. That will be much much much more useful in the studio than any of the live consoles will. Separating the 2 will then open you up to many more live console options. You might spend a little more in the long run, but I promise you that you will be a lot happier. If you still need the multiple channels of preamps + audio interface, there are lots of options but you could even just use any of the live desks with multichannel sound cards as a tracking/monitoring desk (assuming you don't want to get into "character" preamps etc) My 2c Cheers [/QUOTE]
