Default Mackie Onyx 1640i, Allan and Heath ZED R16 (and other $2000 mixers)

Are you planning to use the mixer for live sound as well as for
recording?


This will be the main part of the home studio I'm starting. I like how
the Mackie has an output for every input just incase I have a client
that wants to record reel to reel. I'd be able to rent a reel to reel
and use it with the Mackie, the A&H wouldn't let me do that. This is a
far out scenario, but the option is nice.

As far as the mic-pres go, mostly every person who has tried both agrees
that if you know what you're doing, the difference in mic-pre quality
really doesn't justify it being a deal breaker.
