There is some great info in this thread and its all much appreciated. Can you
guys talk about why it is hard to set up the Crest? Remember that all I will
do is run balanced line outs from my Apogee DA-16 to the boards channel ins
(inserts or 1.4" ins if they bypass the pres..??) and then mix to two track. I
won't be using that many features besides that. From what I'm hearing, it
seems that the Midas really will have the sonic edge and sonics are obviously
something I'm after.

Mike, I currently have an outboard summing box with no eq and it is a league
above the sound of the "in computer" digitally summed mix, but as soon as I sum
to a console and use analog eqs, like I said before, it sounds more like a
record. Thanks again for the comments, more are ofcourse appreciated. Does
anyone else find the Crest more on the neutral side and the Midas more on the
warm fat musical side?
