I'm thinking many of the PreSonus boxes offer even more than that. If
you can trust them.
Are you thinking about a PreSonus mixer? Or one of their multi-channel
interface boxes?
I am not 100% sure. Probably the mixers.
The mixer can be both your mixer and your interface to
the computer. Just one cable between the mixer and the computer is all
you need. But if there's PA involved, either you'll need to get a split
from the PA mixer anyway, or convince whoever is providing the PA, if
it's not you, to use your mixer. Some pretty high profile artists are
using those mixers for their tours
Yup. Although I question the reliability of those as well. I saw one in
use where a "vocalist pedal" thingy would crowbar it. The "vocalist
pedal" was throwing something that gave the PreSonus a reason to shut
down now and again - probably supersonics or DC.
You probably don't want that.
I've just stopped telling people to stop using those "vocalist pedals".
It's a lost cause.
when it's a show that it can handle.
32 channels isn't very expensive. But then you have shows like Rush,
with 90 inputs for a three piece band.
So 80 for Peart and 10 for the other guys, huh?
I don't think those guys are all that cost constrained.
